Regarding his knighthood, Pratchett said, “There are times when phrases such as ‘totally astonished’ just don’t do the job. I am of course delighted and honoured and, needless to say, flabbergasted.” He was diagnosed with Alzheimers in 2007 and has become an advocate for research to find a cure for the disease.
Congratulations Sir Terry Pratchett!
