Knighthoods For All

[goodgoalie]

Blimey, anyone well known NOT received a knight or damehood?!

[Neveracrossword]

Lots and lots.

[jourdain2]

Ridiculous over-inflation. CBE's or OBE's should be the norm.

[goodgoalie]

Sir Ray Davies. What??

[Baldric]

It is common practice to offer a link to the news article you would like to discuss

[Hopkirk]

I refused mine

[carolegif]

I didn't get one!!!!

[jno]

I refused yours too, Hopkirk.

[jourdain2]

I will insist on refusing mine. ("When everybody's somebody- then no-one's anybody" - Gondoliers).

[Jackdaw33]

Victoria Beckham? Jesus H. Christ!

[jno]

can't see anything wrong with Posh getting an OBE. Or with Sir Ray Davies either, one of the finest British songwriters.

[goodgoalie]

At least we didn't get Sir David Beckham....

[Mamyalynne]

1,197 people awarded, how many will be slated tonight?

[maggiebee]

Arise Sir Andy Murray - well deserved.

[anneasquith]

Very well deserved Andy Murray. Not many sports people are number 1 in the world.

[naomi24]

Ray Davies knighthood - good call. An absolute genius generally vastly under-rated by those outside the music industry.

[tonyav]

Well done Sir Ken Dodd, services to to the inland revenue dept.

[Mamyalynne]

Patricia Routledge, nice one.
