Sir Tim Berners-Lee, who developed the web in the late 1980s, said he was just "in the right place at the right time".
On receiving his award on Thursday, Sir Tim said: "I have won awards for computers but I have never won an award for being British.
"I am very proud to be British, it is great fun to be British and this award is just an amazing honour."
"We should all be proud of being British." |
