Terry Pratchett has gotten a present from the Queen. She has knighted him!!!

Hopefully, the Royal Navy will not require the knight to hunt down pirates.
Way freakin cool man!
(and I agree, no pirate hunting!)
There were not many pirates in the Discworld books until now(one ship in Sourcery and the villain in Going Postal*)
Congratulations, Sir PTerry! :fireworks_fire: :badger:
