It wasn't knighthoods in the late 60s, it was MBEs, altogether a much more lowly award. In pecking order: MBE < OBE < CBE < Knighthood. Hardly anybody gets knighted, but MBEs can get awarded to just about anybody. John Lennon later returned his MBE citing some spurious reason, but most probably because he thought he should have been awarded something more important. Thanks very much. I searched the internet as far as I could in the brief time I had and it appears Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr are still just MBEs, but Elton John is a CBE. There was much mention of a "Knights Bachelor" honor that grants a person the the title "Sir," but I was not able to figure out when or exactly how that went to anyone. |
