    Clearly not many did know about the “none” famous honours! (at least, judging by this thread)

    Since when did being accomplished and famous at something preclude you from an honour from the queen- whether you have two pennies or two million pounds, if you’ve made a contribution to society, have acheived something, then you fall into the category of candidate for an honour

    In case it had passed you by, some “famous” people actually have TALENT- if they didnt, wouldnt we all be famous?

    Achieving something in arts or sport deserves recognition

    That all depends on what you see as a “contribution”. I dont agree with many of the famous people awarded.

    All from the 2007 Honours list- its not difficult to find out- perhaps if people actually found out the truth instead of spouting bo/llox, they would be a lot more informed- caretakers, foster carers, football secretaries, volunteers- its all there and always has been, year in, year out
