That you, as a penguin, in every way qualify...

Nils Olav, a penguin at Edinburgh zoo who was already Colonel-in-Chief of the Norwegian army has just been knighted. For his "courage, loyalty, and good endowments". Pah! It'd take more than a few buckets of fish and a medal to get this monkey into the army. Although, if I ever have to be invaded by anyone, please could I book the Norwegians?

There's a video of Nils Olav inspecting his soldiers... He doesn't say much, but you'll want the sound on for the presentation speech.
