Carl Cox OBE

Carl Cox was made an Officer of the Order of the British Empire at Windsor Castle today.

The British DJ and motorsports fanatic was recognised for his outstanding contribution to music, and collected the prestigious honour from Prince William.

"This was an incredible day I’ll never forget. I’m very proud and I know my mum and dad would be very proud of me too. I’m really happy to accept this."

"I’ve been doing this for many years and hope to continue for many more – sharing my love of music. I'm absolutely thrilled and deeply honoured."
