I dunno, I find it interesting sometimes.
for example, sometimes you see say a footballer gets an honour, and you think "eh he gets paid a shed load of money to kick a football about, what's that about?"
but then you read it's for services to charity, he's donated lots of time, money, foundations etc, but hasn't shouted about it, so he's been doing great work for years, without trying to get noticed because of it.
Huff Post had an interesting article about celebs who have refused them,
http://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/2015...n_8895194.html
ppl like French and Saunders and Jim Broadbent, were among those who had refused them saying they hadn't done anything to deserve them, they were just having a laugh doing comedy, acting etc.
Others refused them for more political reasons etc. it's quite an interesting read.
Remember they're not just awarded to celebs for being good at what they do, there's "ordinary people" getting them, so it's nice they get some recognition for whatever good they are doing.
