Sadly, nothing for me this year, but a quick round up of those that were honoured and a link to the full list of over 1100 people if you're interested.

There are a number of well-known names being honoured in this list including a knighthood for singer and songwriter Rod Stewart; and a knighthood for Simon Robey, Chair of the Royal Opera House and Aldeburgh Music. There are CBEs for cricketer, Alastair Cook; classical pianist, Paul Lewis; and for Alan Shearer for his charitable services. There are OBEs for tennis player Jamie Murray and for Leon Smith, Captain of the Davis Cup Team. Further OBEs go to actor Brian Blessed; actor and broadcaster Adil Ray; and well-known broadcasting duo Anthony McPartlin and Declan Donnelly (Ant and Dec). There is also a CBE for journalist and broadcaster Janet Street-Porter.

Noel is from the Irish Republic and, as far as I'm aware, could only have an honorary title and couldn't officially refer to himself as 'Sir' (presuming he was knighted).

Not that it makes any difference, he should still be honoured.

Well Sir Tom Jones comes from Wales and lives in the States. Rod Stewart was born in London but also lives in the States....Sir Cliff was born in India....Noel Fitzpatrick may have been born in Ireland but his practice is in the UK...So I don't think that should be any reason not to honour this genius...At least he pays his taxes to the UK government...unlike some of these overpaid celebrities..Ok rant over....

Because I now live overseas, is that the reason I wasn't honoured as I deserve?
