Nicholas Hytner, artistic director of the National Theatre, is also knighted. Others from the arts world to be recognised include award-winning stage actress Margaret Tyzack, made a CBE. Mamma Mia! director Phyllida Lloyd, concert pianist Peter Donohoe and artist Maggi Hambling are also rewarded for their work with CBEs. 'Delightful' Sir Patrick, born in Mirfield, West Yorkshire and known for a string of theatre and screen roles, said he was "very proud" to be made a knight, adding the theatre has always been his "great joy". "In particular the past six years have given me acting opportunities that at one time I could not have imagined possible. Margaret Tyzack has made her name on stage and screen "This is an honour that embraces those actors, directors and creative teams who have in these recent years helped fill my life with inspiration, companionship and sheer fun," said Sir Patrick. Sir Nicholas said he was "delighted and flattered" to receive the honour.
