Acclaimed singer and songwriter Van Morrison is joining a select group of music giants with a knighthood to their name.
The Belfast-born Morrison was honored on Friday by Queen Elizabeth II for his services to music and tourism in Northern Ireland, the inspiration for many of his classics.
Many of his wistful, mystical songs are set on the streets of Belfast.
