Strained my brain missing the obvious.
Happy Birthday, Sir David Suchet! (b. May 2 1946)
“He’s very respectful and he’s very charming, but my son-in-law gave the best answer, which is that ‘Poirot is enduring because he’s a great moral compass and people would like to be him’. Whenever you watch him, as he sums up a case, you think the world is a better place.” - David Suchet on Poirot’s enduring appeal, The Scotsman interview, June 7 2013
Sir David Suchet on his upcoming knighthood investiture ceremony at Windsor Castle → This Morning show, January 5 2022
The 75-year-old actor was due to be knighted in recognition of his services to drama and charity but sadly had to miss the event after receiving a positive Covid-19 test result.
David tweeted on December 14 2021 that his knighthood investiture was happening the following day. However, the same evening he updated his followers with a since-deleted tweet, “I have sad news. I have tested positive for Covid via a lateral flow test this evening. So no investiture for me at Windsor Castle tomorrow. I am getting a PCR test in the morning.”
Thankfully, David and his wife Sheila are doing well. On December 24 2021 David thanked his followers again and wished everyone a Happy Christmas, adding, “I am now out of isolation! Feeling 100%.”
The investiture ceremony has been postponed to a later date.
