Prince William honours Andy Murray with OBE

Prince William has hosted his first investiture ceremony at Buckingham Palace.

Among those honoured was Wimbledon champion Andy Murray, who became an OBE.

It represents an extension of the Duke of Cambridge's public duties after he left his Royal Air Force post last month.

In an interview after the ceremony with the BBC's Peter Hunt, Andy Murray said that the Duke seemed "very confident" carrying out his duties.

The Wimbledon champion revealed that he was almost late for the ceremony after being held up by a random drugs test.
