 [MAIL] The inventor of the Tunnock's teacake has today been knighted by the Queen - and revealed after the ceremony that Her Majesty is a fan of the snack.
Sir Boyd Tunnock, 86, received his knighthood from the Queen at a royal investiture ceremony at Buckingham Palace in London.
The inventor, who runs the family-owned business in Uddingston, South Lanarkshire, received his honour today for services to business and charity.
He said the Queen chose the teacake from the Scottish brand over the caramel wafer, which was created by his father. |
