There is a petition on the Downing Street website to make Chris Powell a real knight:
Sir Chris
He is certainly more deserving than some people who receive such honours. The more formal process is available here: Cabinet Office
I always thought that Keith Peacock deserved at least a MBE. Some years ago I tried to raise the matter through official channels and got nowhere.
Excellent, I've added my name.
ReplyDeleteI would love to sign the petition and was tempted to do so in any event (who is checking?) although I do not fit any of the categories. Having both parents born in the UK, I am somewhat an ex-patriot. I was in the Argyle & Sutherland Highlanders (Princess Louise's) and it just says Armed Forces, with no elaboration. There is already a Robert Millar who has signed, so that's close. Oh well, better be honest so as not to compromise a wonderful petition! Good luck....I hope it is successful.
ReplyDeleteYou would think having been in the regiment I would remember how to spell Argyll!!!! Thought I better correct that before super pedant DS gets on my tail (or site master Wyn for that matter)!
