Popular British DJ Johnnie Walker collects his MBE

Friday was a special day for popular British DJ Johnnie Walker, 60, as he went to Buckingham Palace to receive his MBE from Prince Charles.

The MBE was awarded for his services to radio over a period of 40 years. Johnnie said that the Prince asked him about his time on Radio Caroline, to which he replied "I was a bit naughty, I disobeyed the law. It would seem I've been forgiven."

Johnnie says he has now been in remission from non-Hodgkin's lymphoma for two years, after undergoing chemotherapy and an emergency operation in October 2003.

He is on the air every weekday, as popular as ever, on BBC Radio 2.
