Sir Paul McCartney was made a Companion of Honour at an investiture ceremony at Buckingham Palace on Friday. Speaking about being a member of the order, with a maximum of 65 members at any time, the former Beatles band member is called a "great honor" ceremony. In a Press Association statement, he said: "I see this as a great honor for me and my family and I think how dazzling my mother and son Liverpool are to see it." Paul is accompanied by Buckingham Palace by his wife, Nancy, who looks good on a suitable navy jacket and matching the hat.
Sir Paul, 75, was honoured for services to music, 20 years after he was knighted by the Queen. His fellow bandmate, Sir Ringo Starr, was knighted back in March. Speaking about the honour, he said: “A lot of people I don’t know wrote letters saying, ‘Congratulations, it’s about time,’ but for me the time is when it arrives, and that’s now. I just never thought of it. I just got on with my life and here we are. As I said, I’m just really surprised.”Although members of the Order of the Companions of Honour hold no special title, those conducted are entitled to use ‘CH’ after their name. Other Companions of Honour include JK Rowling, Dame Maggie Smith and Sir David Attenborough. Darcey Bussell also attended Buckingham Palace, where she was honoured with a damehood by the Queen. She joked about her recommendations for Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s first dance together as husband and wife, saying: “I’d love to know their first dance, I had Abba – Dancing Queen – so I can imagine they would have something fun like that, but gosh, who knows, everybody has different things.” Darcey added that she would like to see Prince Harry on Strictly Come Dancing, adding: “I would love to see Harry … I think he would try everything. He’d probably be great on Strictly, wouldn’t he. He would be fantastic.”
