Glad to see he is getting recognition for a long and worthy career.

Yep - I talked about this on the podcast over last weekend and posted a blurb on the main site about it. Pretty cool. How do they pick these things anyway?

Strictly, this is still rumour until the list is officially published but I guess that the sources posting this have enough repute to be believed.

Some are external recommendations while some are rotal decisions I think. If you believe the discussion around this one, it was the Queen's personal decision.

Oh, that's fine. I don't always post everything on the forum anyway that I talk about and I hadn't posted yet about this here.

This is official and done now. Congrats - Sir Patrick!!!

I trust he will now get a sword, a horse and a long embroidered cloak and go and lead an armoured brigade somewhere as knights are traditionally supposed to do :)

"Cry 'God for Patrick, England, and Saint George!!'" - to paraphrase that little known bard... ;)
