Sir Richard Starkey - Ringo to be Knighted!

Ringo Starr has been listed on Queen Elizabeth's New Year's honours list.  At 77, he is to receive a knighthood, 20 years after former bandmate Paul McCartney became 'Sir Paul'.  In a statement, Ringo said: "It's great! It's an honour and a pleasure to be considered and acknowledged for my music and my charity work, both of which I love. Peace and love. Ringo."
