Cumming goes tartan to collect OBE

Nov 24 2009

Actor Alan Cumming has collected his OBE from the Princess Royal at Buckingham Palace dressed almost head-to-toe in tartan.

The Scottish star, who was honoured for services to film, theatre and the arts and for his work as a gay rights campaigner, donned a kilt made of the Hunting Cumming pattern for the royal occasion, along with matching jacket and waistcoat.

Cumming said he was pleased to be honoured for his activism in America, where he now lives.
