Sir Rod, you wear it well.

Rocker Rod Stewart donned tartan trousers — a nod to his Scottish heritage — and a scarlet-trimmed military-style tunic to be knighted by Prince William at Buckingham Palace.

The raspy-voiced singer of Maggie May, Da Ya Think I’m Sexy and You Wear It Well was honoured “for services to music and charity.”

The 71-year-old star will be able to call himself Sir Roderick David Stewart.

He was joined by wife Penny Lancaster and sons Alastair and Aiden for Tuesday’s investiture ceremony.
