A Picture of Tolkien I'd Never Seen Before

 


J. R. R. Tolkien outside of Buckingham Palace in 1972, having just received the distinction of being made a Commander of the Order of the British Empire (CBE) by Queen Elizabeth II, for services to English Literature. With him are John (his eldest) and Priscilla (his youngest). The honor is one step below knighthood. He looks younger than his son, doesn't he?
