Fully deserved IMO for their glorious sporting achievements.

Perhaps Sir Farah will get better treatment by customs officials now.

Re: New Years Honours List
I don't know why Andy Murray got a knighthood. This Honour stuff should be overhauld.
The honours should go to people, who have worked hard for charities - which get overlooked by this Government. And yet a Tory, gets a Knighthood for pouring money into the Conservative Party. |

Re: New Years Honours List
There is so much wrong with this honor crap. There are people that stand on corners of High Street to collect money for charities, that go unnoticed .
We have major stars that give money to thousands of charities each year, and get nothing. The good thing is no Ken Dodd. Who has so much for charities and the entertainment business. And he has finally got one. I think anyone who pumps millions into Political Party, should be barred from getting honours. What the Queen could do each year, donate money to say 100 charities, out of all that money she gets. And scrap the Honours stuff. Its obvious that the PM recommends to the Queen, and she agrees |

Re: New Years Honours List
If we must honour politicians and bankers then i would like to see the honours for civilians like the above mentioned on a separate list .Having someone on the list getting a knighthood for basically doing their job seems at odds with someone who spent 30 yrs raising money for local charities

I don't have an issue with sportsmen getting gongs but it shouldn't be simply for being good at it. They are rewarded for that already - well at least in professional sport. The should get honoured if after they leave the lime light they contribute to the sport by volunteering to coach at grass root level or campaigning to improve the sport and access to it.
So Murray should get a knighthood when he gets to say 60 or so and has spent 30 odd years helping get tennis into urban areas, bringing up new players to top standards not (just as) a pro coach but helping push it at lower levels. |
