Interesting faces in the Queen's Birthday Honours - Bernard Cribbins, Bruce Forsyth, The Goodies, Bryan Ferry. God save us from the day any X Factor winner is ever considered. Quality will out, as they say.

He deserves this award and it has been a long time coming, now he should retire gracefully.

Hi Paul yes many times when I was with the airline. I aslo stayed at a hotel in Leeds. He had stayed in the room before me and I found a wig in the drawer which reception said belonged to him x

I only met him once and I was a bit dissapointed but then you can't please everyone all the time.

As far as I am concerned, it's his retirement that is long overdue !!

Cannot bear to watch the man, never have liked him but having said all that, he has spent most of his life in showbusiness and this honour is about 20 years overdue!



Really admired Sean Connery for refusing his gong!

Just been watching Bruce Forsyth trace his family history on Who Do You Think You Are.



His family can be traced all the way back to America in the 1880s. His hair, meanwhile, can be traced back to Allied Carpets in 1987.

I was on the train a few weeks ago and saw Bruce Forsythe and Jimmy Hill.



They were having a good old chinwag.

I don't watch 'Strictly........' because I cannot abide the man - time he retired - that said, considering the calibre of so many that get 'Honoured' now he has his gong, SURELY he will accept his time has come to put his feet up........
