Just read that people are suggesting Gary Barlow deserves a knighthood for organising the Jubilee pop concert ..............what a load of tosh and totally the wrong concept of what being knighted stands for! What do you think?

Temper, temper.

I couldn't agree more!

I agree Ann but they're given out like confetti these days and have lost their meaning IMO.

The only sword he need is to chop the annoying little a/holes head off ?

Queen - TAKE THAT Gary !

Didn't see the concert but from what I've read, it was dire.

If that's true, being locked up in the Tower would be a better honour.

As soon as "common people" were knighted, they lost their uniqueness BUT after saying that, i i were offered a knighthood, i would take it.

Dubbing seems an appropriate word in this case

LOL I think so too - do you think the suggestion has been made in sarcasm? It was dire - the best performer was the wonderful Alfie Boe ;0)

He should be congratulated for having his agent phone around to get things sorted. but knighted ....Gary Barloooooow. do me a lemon.

Knighthood, no - one of the orders, yes, e.g. MBE.

It would be an OBE as there were a lot of others involved - bet Gary Malone gets one too, maybe a CBE for both of them given the latter's involvement with schools and other choirs and Gary re his other music and charity work

Being a killjoy, I thought that all the gongs after the last Olympics were OTT and so[i Labour.......On McCoy, Addlington and all the rest, they should have waited until their careers were over (like Redgrave). Perhaps the max should have been an MBE for Gold medallists but they [i] already] had a gong in their hand, the one that really mattered to them.

I bet it happens again......unfortunately.

As to Seb Coe, Order of Merit or the Garter when a space becomes available....replacement for Thatch on the latter?

not awake as to italics.....

Lord Rae has a certain "Je ne sais quoi" to it.......the emphasis being the "quoi"
