The Who frontman Sir Roger Daltrey was awarded his knighthood by The Prince Of Wales at Windsor Castle on Wednesday.
The rocker, 81, who is responsible for hits including My Generation and Baba O'Riley, was recognised with a knight bachelor in The King's Birthday Honours list in June for services to charity and music.
Roger launched and curated the Teenage Cancer Trust's Royal Albert Hall concerts from 2000 to 2025.
The concerts have raised more than £32 million for charity and have led to the setting up of 28 specialised units within the NHS.
Sir Roger previously told the Press Association that he felt 'deeply honoured' to have been made a knight bachelor in the King's Birthday Honours.
He said: 'It's a wonderful honour for me, and especially for Teenage Cancer Trust.

'I accept this award not only for myself but on behalf of all the unsung heroes who have given their energy towards making the Teenage Cancer Trust the success it has become.'
The first Teenage Cancer Trust show by The Who And Friends at the Royal Albert Hall in 2000 raised more than £12 million in ticket sales and revenue from a concert film and CD.
The singer first rose to fame with the 1960s mod rock band, alongside bandmates Pete Townshend, Keith Moon and John Entwistle.
The band also paid tribute to Roger when his honour was announced earlier this year, saying: 'Sir Roger is a true inspiration and we salute him and all the other honourees from the worlds of music and the creative arts for enriching our lives with their brilliant human artistry and achievements.'
Roger had previously admitted in 2022 he never thought he'd receive a knighthood as he felt his views were 'too political.'
He told Forbes at the time: 'I don't care about things like that; it's not important in my life. I've probably been too political, too critical of our leaders to ever attain that kind of position. But I don't give a c**p. I say what I feel at the time. If I'm wrong, I'll stand up and say, 'Sorry, I was wrong.'
'I don't care what people say about me. Nobody's going to like you all of the time. Some people will like you, some not, some will dislike you a whole lot, some will like you a whole lot. I'm a human being, and none of us is perfect.'
It comes after Claudia Winkleman struggled to hide her delight as she was made a Member of the Order of the British Empire (MBE) by King Charles on Tuesday.

The Strictly Come Dancing host was honoured for her services to broadcasting, weeks after her co-host Tess Daly received her own MBE.
Claudia, who was wearing a stylish white suit and headband, was pictured shaking hands with the Monarch as he bestowed the honour during an investiture ceremony.
The TV star was supported by her husband Kris Thykier and her parents Eve Pollard and Barry Winkleman, who were seen watching on from the sidelines.
Her sister, Sophie Winkleman, who is a member of the Royal family after marrying Lord Frederick Windsor, did not appear to be in attendance on the day.
When it was announced Claudia was on the King's Birthday Honours list in June, she said she was 'incredibly grateful' to have been made an MBE.
At the time, Claudia said: 'I am incredibly grateful to receive this honour.
'It's a real privilege to work with extraordinarily talented people and I have only got this because of them. So this is for the BBC, the Traitors and the Faithful, for pianos and for the cha cha.'
The mother of three, who shares her kids Jake, Matilda, and Arthur Thykier with husband Kris, revealed who she would be taking with her to Windsor Castle.
While she is very close to her family, there is one person in particular she had in mind to accompany her, saying: 'I will buy a hat and am taking my mum.
'I am ridiculously lucky and will celebrate with Tess by doing a paso doble.'
