A fan of Britain's Queen Elizabeth II believes he deserves a royal honour... for watching her Christmas speech every day for over 12 years.
Andy Park of Wiltshire, England, claims to have sat down every day since October 1991 to watch the Queen's Christmas Message - broadcast annually on TV - and now wants an OBE for it.
The 45-year-old, who has watched the message a staggering 4,566 times, believes there is no one else with such patriotism and devotion to the royal family.
He said: "I've never missed watching her speech at 3pm every day for over 12 years. I record it on to video, which means if I have to go out I'll watch it on a portable TV and video player.
He added to The Scotsman newspaper: "Now, after all this time, I think I should be awarded the OBE for my efforts - it's the least the Queen could do to show her gratitude."
