Simply attaching an object to the bone of an animated character?

Hi guys,
I'm getting really frustrated with myself now... I'm no hot shot character animator. But I've just managed to bone a character and pose him into a sitting position. Since then I added some glasses, but I've just decided that I would like the glasses to be attached to his head so I can have him look around a little, when I animate the head bone.
Problem is now that he's already sitting and boned etc, I can't seem to get the glasses to stick (without deforming or going back to the preposed stage)...
A guy at work who uses 3Dsmax said to simply link the glasses to the head bone... but I can't work out how to do it in C4d?... any takers?
Cheers in advance

Go to the start of your animation, place the glasses in the correct position, then use a constraint tag (PSR) to constrain the glasses to the head bone with relative offset.
