Olympic cycling legends Laura and Jason Kenny have collected their Knight Bachelor and Dame Commander medals today from Prince William at Windsor Castle.
This adds two more medals to their already large and decorated medal collection - where they already have 12 Olympic gold medals.
The married couple, now Sir Jason and Dame Laura, have been set to collect these medals after Jason was knighted and Laura was made a Dame in the Queen's new year's honours list.
Collecting these medals formed part of an Investiture - a day when someone who has been awarded an honour receives it in person from the Queen or a member of her family at a royal residence.

The Duke of Cambridge presented the honours to the couple, who are parents to a boy named Alfie, in the Investiture's traditional medal presenting ceremony.
Also receiving honours at today's Investiture is actor Nitin Ganatra, who played Masood Ahmed in BBC soap opera EastEnders and swimmer Kathleen Dawson.
Former Team GB hockey captain Barry Middleton and triathlete Alexander Yee are also due to officially receive MBEs for contributions to their respective sports.
