Its not often I am at a loss for words but ......

At what mikey? At Britain's most famous and successful potter or ceramicist getting the CBE? That he has an alternative persona? That he sometimes wears a frock; he does that particularly when being the ceramicist Grayson Perry?

I prefer this one Jake.

Not sure how an artist is barring anyone from having a day out like that Sqad. All about choice.

[FredPuli43]

Sqad, the days of which you speak have not gone and now they have Grayson Perry and his pottery too. (You might find Greek Street a bit more expensive though)

''at a loss for words mikey?'' ... if he'd turned up in a morning suit, that would have really shocked me

[Sqad]

Lucky us eh?

[murraymints]

sqad..you ARE naughty......but i liiiike you ! lol

[humbersloop]

very restrained, particularly compared to last year's Bafta number..

..though I'm not sure the Daily Wail got the point of that one

I thought he looked fab in a remarkably conventional way.

PoW didn't seem to mind judging by the huge smile on his face.

I'm not a fan of the way Grayson Perry dresses usually but that was a very appropriate dress and good on him for not shedding his persona for an event. I' wonder if the Prince of Wales thought that the artist was dressed better than his wife usually is!

[ludwig]

I really like Grayson Perry, both the man and his art.

[anneasquith]

I thought he looked lovely :)

Leave Camilla alone, at least she is of the right gender to wear such things, Perry is just an exhibitionist and should never have been allowed to attend such a ceremony, dressed in that way.

AOG, why not?

[emmie]

it wouldn't have been right had he worn a morning suit, he looks better in a frock, i like him and his work.

[sandyRoe]

When The Beatles got their gongs some crusty old reactionaries sent theirs back. Is that not done anymore?

[gness]

It will be if AOG has one, Sandy....x

John Lennon rejected his MBE

If he were to be knighted and he dressed similarly, would he be a "Dame Grand Cross"?
