At the risk of repeating myself, I think it's great when people are recognised for services to charity; celebs or not. But 'services to' comedy, drama, literature, music etc. bother me. They have been well paid for those 'services' already.

Sorry to be a grump after some jokey answers that came in while I was typing. :/)

Jo....I am somewhat agreeing with you, but I have been enjoying June for as long as I have been around, and I think that its well overdue.

[murraymints]

think old June deserves a wee honour, she has been a good old stick on telly for years now..my uncle got an MBE some time back..just for being a civil servant..did nowt special that I know about..

[mallyh]

I like her but I really don't understand why overpaid actors etc get honours,heroes yes .

[DTCwordfan]

mally, that is a little curmudgeinly when it comes to June Whitfield - honours are for excellence in life too and she has been a beacon of that when it comes to acting and entertainment. Long overdue.

[mikey4444]

I wonder if Eth would have believed it !

[mallyh]

DtCwordfan I just looked curmudgeonly up .bit harsh , not me at all lol xx
