The man who portrayed my favourite starfleet captain, Capt. Jean-Luc Picard just went from captain to knight.
Actor Patrick Stewart (69) who played Capt. Jean-Luc Picard in Star Trek: The Next Generation on television and in the subsequent movies, were knighted earlier today in Londen by Queen Elizabeth II at Buckingham Palace.
After a little run-in with the Borg at Wolf 359, and that little crashlanding of the USS Enterprise 1701-D on the surface of Veridian III, he will hence be known as Sir Patrick Stewart.
