Not exactly an unbelievable headline story, but in Britain there is a bit of celeb gossip each year: Who is getting an honour from the Queen? Past recipients have included The Beatles and I think Mick Jagger, but not Keith Richards - snubbed by the Queen, who turns out to be a bit of a killjoy about recreational heroin use. Anyway, this year, sixties model Twiggy is getting an MBE (Member of British Empire), which is all the excuse I need for a photo:-



Twiggy(née Leslie Hornby), M.B.E. For her services to God and Empire, and in recognition of her work in promoting adolescent male fantasies.

And here she is again in a better known photo:



....which leads on rather cleverly to the next item: celebs who have taken a stand on principal and declined the honour:- https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/ampstorie...tory_slot=1-sa
