The year-old said he had been in showbusiness for 70 years, to which the Queen expressed surprise. Forsyth began his career as a teenager and is now best known as the host of Strictly Come Dancing. The star said after his investiture that it was "absolutely wonderful" to receive his knighthood, adding he had no plans to retire.
Who feels like quitting? I want to go on," he said. Sir Bruce also praised the press for mounting a campaign for him to be given a knighthood. During his knighthood ceremony in , Bruce was praised by Her Majesty who endowed him with a subtle sign of respect and thanks on behalf of the nation.
Despite decades of tickling audiences across the country and working hard for humanitarian causes, Bruce feared he would never be knighted. The knighthood has definitely given me a boost. This was one of the first times the star had been referred to by his double-barrelled surname, since shaking it off in his early years in a bid to make the name of his act less of a mouthful.
He recalled the royal praise for his lengthy service in showbiz and appeared shocked to find out that he was just a teenager when he started his act during World War 2.

Or thespians actors to you and me. They are 'creative'. Still, weren't they all just "doing their jobs" too? But they never spent an hour in my living room talking to me personally, the way Brucie has done.
They were often boring, outdated, cheesy and throwing their wealth in our faces. But no one ever accused Bruce of being more than an entertainer. At 83, he's spent 70 years cheering us up.
Brucie knew the disdain for mere "light entertainers" well when he chose to dedicate his knighthood to Morecambe -amp; Wise, Eric Sykes, Frankie Howerd and Tommy Cooper. None of them, for all they were representative of that peculiar spirit everyone talks so much about, ever felt the regal sword on their shoulder.
