UK Artist Grayson Perry Knighted as Alter Ego Claire

"The British artist, writer and broadcaster, who is known for his ceramic vases, tapestries and cross-dressing, collected the award from the Prince of Wales on Wednesday wearing a red chiffon dress with a matching miniature straw boater hat at Windsor Castle, accompanied by his wife, psychotherapist Philippa Perry."

Finally finished #GraysonPerry's Full English documentary and #PaulHeaton showing off his crisp packet collection was my absolutely my favourite part. 😍

Tudor Spring Onion #crisps were my favourite ever - I'd eat a tonne of them every year on my 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 summer holidays 😋

#Culture can't be explained, it needs to be experienced - #GraysonPerry

Amen to that

#GraysonsFullEnglish #Channel4

Personal fun (not really) fact about #Whitby, where #GraysonPerry is now sat, eating fish and chips on the programme: It's the place in England where we were served the worst pint of Old Peculier ever. It had a creamflow head on it. Old Peculier should not have a creamflow head on it. It shouldn't have a head on it at all. No idea why northerners pour it like that. It's all kind of wrong. Changes the taste beyond recognition.

Interesting bit just then on #GraysonPerry touching on whether rich, posh, landed gentry people from the north are "northerners" in the sense of what most people in England consider a northerner. It's a problem, though, when a show hits extremes of people. You'll get well-off, posh people in Cheshire or St Helens who'd definitely qualify as northerners, so what's the actual dividing line that says yes or no? Tricky one.

#GraysonPerry is hitting the north of England tonight for #FullEnglish on Channel 4 right now, and he's starting with some Northern Soul dancing. We've seen some properly good Northern Soul dancers on several occasions and it's a dance style we adore, with fabulous music as accompaniment. I've even been known to throw in a few Northern Soul dance steps myself on occasion.

"I do struggle with grime. It's not my genre." #GraysonPerry #FullEnglish

UK viewers, Channel 4, and #GraysonPerry now is looking at what it means to be English when you're not white. #FullEnglish

#graysonperry I have become a big fan of Grayson and his approach. However the first episode of the Full English and the interview with a 'budding white supermacist' - rather disappointing - you have done much than this with other extremists...

Enjoyable first episode, but #GraysonPerry programmes always are, and nice to see him touch upon the fact that looking back to the past - whether some perceived glorious, heroic past of racist England, or some idyllic, everyone at peace with nature past of traditional England - is very, very white. Midlands next week, and a far more culturally diverse England to take in. Well worth catching if you missed it. #FullEnglish

Love the various #pagan bits we're seeing in this programme. My wife's cousin is in two Morris sides (or was, the last time I checked with him). #GraysonPerry #FullEnglish

#GraysonPerry singing to a White Van Man from the north is what good TV is all about. #FullEnglish

There is something very, very satisfying about a good #AfternoonTea but we've never actually done one in England. We've had some fancy ones on cruise ships, though, and would probably rate #VirginVoyages as best at them, much to our own surprise. #GraysonPerry #FullEnglish

I think I've just seen a Wet Druid contest taking place on British TV. #GraysonPerry #FullEnglish

Really hoping these druids put the racist defender of Dover inside a Wicker Man before the end of this programme. #GraysonPerry #FullEnglish

Looking forward to #graysonperry of explorations #fullenglish nationalism. All nationalisms given their dangerous darker sides, need such creative explorations
