I love this woman, her accomplishments and her poise. I find so much that astounds me about her and I should one day wish to greet her in person and I hope to look as lovely.  The Editor

Shirley Bassey is a Dame and a Knight!! I think the world will be running out of awards and titles for this super singing star. It was a pleasure to watch this wonderful video and thanks for sharing. Love to see Shirley was so happy and shinning like a Knight....

What a joy to see Dame Shirley and actually hear her acceptance speech too. I have never heard one from her. She is so gracious and adorable. This is great to see her recieve this well deserved honor. Long live Dame Shirley! Thanks you for this video and the lovely choice her singing Thats what friends are for. Thanks

So glad you like the video - it was filmed in 2003 at the French Embassy & we were invited to film it by Liz Brewer. We thought it would be nice for people to see it after all this time.

@liamgalvinfilm Great idea by the wonderful Liz Brewer. I am happy that we can see this now.

Bassey at her most radiant, always humble amidst multiple compliments.
