"Dick Van Dyke described being presented with the Screen Actors Guild Lifetime Achievement award as &amp;quot;such a thrill&amp;quot; at last night&amp;#039;s ceremony. Van Dyke received a lengthy standing ovation as he took to the stage, later describing the applause as &amp;quot;marvellous&amp;quot; and joking that it &amp;quot;does an old man a lot of good&amp;quot;.  &amp;quot;I&amp;#039;ve knocked around in this business for 70 years, and I still haven&amp;#039;t quite figured out what it is I do,&amp;quot; the 87-year-old said. &amp;quot;The years have been just full of surprises for me, and a lot of fun. Aren&amp;#039;t we lucky to have found a line of work that doesn&amp;#039;t require growing up?&amp;quot; Van Dyke paid tribute to his family and even found time for a little self-deprecation by referring to his role in Mary Poppins and saying: &amp;quot;I&amp;#039;m still singing and dancing - I&amp;#039;m world famous for my Cockney accent.&amp;quot;      He also praised the current stars of film and television, describing them as &amp;quot;the greatest generation of actors in the history of acting&amp;quot; and congratulating them on their humanitarian work. &amp;quot;You&amp;#039;ve all lifted the art to another place now,&amp;quot; he said. &amp;quot;And besides that, you&amp;#039;re everywhere - you&amp;#039;re in Darfur, Somali, Haiti, New Orleans. You&amp;#039;re all over the place, trying to do what&amp;#039;s right.&amp;quot;  Van Dyke concluded his acceptance speech by saying: &amp;quot;All I have to say is if this very heavy object here means that I can refer to you as my peers, I&amp;#039;m a happy man. Thank you - God bless!&amp;quot; "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
