Yesterday we told you that Alan Hinkes was at the Palace collecting his well-deserved OBE from Her Majesty The Queen and today we have the picture of Her Majesty adjusting Alan's tie ;-)

Seriously though, the picture says it all. Congratulations, Alan Hinkes OBE and the first Briton to climb all 14 of the world's 8,000-metre peaks :-)
