[Mamyalynne]

Well done Sir Tommy.

[naomi24]

Ahhhh... good for him.

[AuntPG]

came as a surprise to me he was still alive :-)

[pixie374]

Who?? When will they stop this pointless exercise?

[elliemay1]

I also thought he was already knighted! I wonder, why now?

[Ken4155]

Knighted at 84 year old. Almost like an afterthought, imho.

[AuntPG]

Pixie I remember him in the sixties in musical films . Always played the same 'loveable' chirpy cockney character. What he's done to deserve a knighthood beats me.

[mallyh]

pixie i agree with you the so called celebrities get enough reward for what they do

[pixie374]

Thanks apg, and mally x I don't even recognise him.

[elliemay1]

I hated that song, '' Little White Bull''!

[AuntPG]

god, I forgot about that song, it was terrible -shall I post a link lol!

[elliemay1]

Gosh Pixie, you must be very young!

[elliemay1]

No-o-o-o APG!

[novalis]

Well deserved as far as I am concerned. I like his Eleanor Rigby statue in Liverpool.
