Sir Paul Made a Companion of Honour

As if he couldn’t get any more accolades!  Paul McCartney, the 75-year-old ex-Beatle and Wings frontman and all-round legendary bloke, has been made a Companion of Honour for services to music by Her Majesty the Queen (she’s a pretty nice girl but she doesn’t have a lot to say). He was joined by his wife of seven years, Nancy, at Buckingham Palace this Star Wars Day to receive the honour. Other members of the Order of Companions of Honour, founded in 1917, include Dame Judi Dench, Sir David Attenborough and J. K. Rowling and at any one time there can only be 65 members. Paul was quoted as imagining how proud his Liverpudlian mum and dad would be at his achievement.
