India's cricket star Sachin Tendulkar has been awarded the country's highest civilian honour, the Bharat Ratna.
The award was announced hours after Tendulkar retired from international cricket following India's victory over the West Indies in a Test in Mumbai.
Tendulkar is the first sportsman to win the award and - at 40 - the youngest.
Previous recipients include India's first PM Jawaharlal Nehru, Mother Teresa, Nelson Mandela and Rajiv and Indira Gandhi.
The award is made on a recommendation by the prime minister to the president.
Always tell someone how you feel because opportunities are lost in the blink of an eye but regret can last a lifetime.
