Queen Elizabeth II has honoured campaigning actress Angelina Jolie in a Buckingham Palace ceremony.
The Queen made Jolie an honorary dame for her work against sexual violence in war zones and her services to British foreign policy.
She received the award Friday during a private meeting with the Queen.
The decision to grant it was announced in June when Jolie co-chaired a conference in London aimed at curbing war-related sexual violence. She worked closely with former British Foreign Minister William Hague on that conference.
The 39-year-old Jolie has drawn praise from many world figures for her work on behalf of refugees and victims of sexual violence.
Jolie recently married longtime partner Brad Pitt and starred in the film Maleficent.

"I was ten when the Taliban came to our valley. Moniba and I had been reading the Twilight books and longed to be vampires. It seemed to us that the Taliban arrived in the night just like vampires...These were strange-looking men with long straggly hair and beards and camouflage vests over their shalwar kamiz, which they wore with the trousers well above the ankle. They had jogging shoes or cheap plastic sandals on their feet, and sometimes stockings over their heads with holes for their eyes, and they blew their noses dirtily into the ends of their turbans..."
