Yep, if knighthoods were a democracy he'd get my vote!: thumbsup: He's also played an immense social role that goes unrecognised - he's the guy you point to and say "See kiddies, that's what happens when you take drugs"!
Somehow I can't see him eating cucumber sandwiches and sipping tea in the palace gardens while exchanging pleasantries with HM....
Cheers -
