British actors Sir Lenny Henry, 57, and Martin Clunes OBE, 54, were delighted at being recognised for their life's work during an Investiture ceremony at Windsor Castle.
Comic Relief co-founder Sir Lenny, who was married to Dawn French for 25 years, received a knighthood from the Queen for his services for drama and charity.
He dedicated his knighthood to those who had contributed to or worked with the charity over its 30 years, raising raised 1 billion ($2.2b).
A gaffe from broadcaster ITV showed a clip of Ainsley Harriott during Lenny's interview.
As Sir Lenny was talking about diversity in British TV, the interview jumped to film of the TV chef singing and dancing.
