Shortly after winning her second Booker Prize, Margaret Atwood has received a rare honour from Queen Elizabeth II for her services to literature.

The Canadian novelist and poet was presented with an Order of the Companions of Honour in a ceremony at Windsor Castle Friday.

She said the experience made her "a bit emotional." The Press Association quoted Atwood as saying that "when you see the Queen at her age and her schedule that she puts out, it's an inspiration to everybody, you just keep going."
