British TV legend David Jason has been awarded a Knighthood in the Queen Brithday Honours List.

Two snippets from the article at BBC News online . . .
Quote:

Actor David Jason, who played wheeler dealer Del Boy in
the BBC's Only Fools and Horses, has been knighted in
the Queen's Birthday Honours list.


Quote:

He said he was "delighted and humbled" to be made a sir.

"It is totally unexpected and I can only hope it will bring a
little pleasure to the viewing public as it has brought
great pleasure to me and my family."


IMO, here's someone who actually deserves such an honour. In the words of Del Boy . . . "Cushty!" . . .

Also, Terry Wogan receives an honorary knighthood, while Jonathan Ross gets a OBE.

Fantastic. Well deserved i think. He's given me many hours of quality entertainment. Same with Wogan. Even Johnathan Ross deserves it i think.

Except he's not technically Sir Terence ... as he's not a British citizen, it's an honorary knighthood.

You won't see it Laughing, he is Irish and cannot use Sir. Instead it will be Terry Wogan KBE.

It is incorrect to refer to him as Sir Bob Geldof.

Surprising that no one has mentioned that Frank Gardner has been awarded an OBE too. More deserved? Oh yes.

Let's just hope Liz is never so desperate as to have to resort to Paul Hudson OBE Wink
