London
(ANI):
Veteran
actor
Sir
Patrick
Stewart,
who
recently
received
knighthood,
has
dedicated
his
achievement
to
his
childhood
schoolteacher.
The
'Star
Trek" star
received
the
honour
from
the
Queen
in
a
special
ceremony
at
Buckingham
Palace.
The
69
year
old
said
he
owed
"literally
everything" to
his
secondary
school
mentor
Cecil
Dormand.
Dermond
had
pushed
Stewart
to
pursue
a
career
in
acting.
"Although
many
people
in
my
life
and
career
have
had
a
great
influence
on
me,
without
this
one
man,
none
of
it
would
have
happened,"
the
Daily
Express
quoted
Stewart,
as
saying.
