JAMES Bond actor Daniel Craig has received the same honour as that bestowed on his character 007 as he was honoured at Windsor Castle for services to film and theatre.

Chester-born Craig moved to Wirral with his mother after his parents divorced in 1972. He attended primary school in Hoylake before moving to Hilbre High School in West Kirby

Craig wore a dark navy suit as he was made a Companion of the Order of St Michael and St George - the same honour held by Ian Fleming's famous character - by the Princess Royal.

The actor starred in the last five Bond films, first appearing in Casino Royale in 2006 and ending his run with No Time To Die in 2021.

While in character as 007, he made a famous appearance alongside the Queen in a sketch to mark the opening of the London 2012 Olympic Games.

Craig also appeared in 2019's Knives Out alongside Chris Evans, Ana de Armas and Jamie Lee Curtis, and will make a return in the film's sequel due to premiere at the end of next month.
