New Years Honours list

iviv · 31 Dec 2009 at 01:15

Stage and Star Trek actor Patrick Stewart has received a knighthood in the New Year Honours list for his services to drama.

British and Irish Lions legend Ian McGeechan heads the list of stars from the world of sport to be included in the 2010 New Year Honours List.

Status Quo rockers Francis Rossi and Rick Parfitt, F1 champion Jenson Button and actor Patrick Stewart have been recognised with New Year Honours.

Formula 1 world champion Jenson Button is made an MBE, while Ross Brawn, who led Button's team, becomes an OBE.

Those are the main one's I've seen. Of all the list, I think Patrick Stewart is one of my favourites on there. One of the best actors I've seen, suited for so many roles, and he's so recognisable.

Anyway, commence the yearly bashing of the system

On the third one... what, for playing three chords?

Make it so!

I wholeheartedly agree with the knighthood of Patrick Stewart... one thing I'd like to know, though, did Lewis Hamilton get an MBE last year?

for their continued support and work in entertainment I guess is the reason why. Anyway they aren't being knighted so it doesn't really matter.

If you get an honour, can you still get knighted in the future?

Did he turn it down? I seem to remember that. Might be wrong.

He is due to be made a TBE - Twitterer of the British Empire.

Pity he's become a complete Twitter orientated person, horrid website. If he should vow to never use it again, he might deserve something.
