So you don't agree with Captain sir Tom Moore's awards? without him and his comrades you wouldn't be here today to post your feelings? ok, that's your opinion and I respect that......

The full title is... Officer of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire Congrats Old Banger The Yanks keep saying OBE stands for "Order of the British Empire." I know that's not right.

Of course he should be congratulated and praised. He is remarkable man. I was commenting on your point about a footballer being recognised for given out food to children in poverty by giving his own money and embarrassing the uk govt into action....there were so many other people who don't deserve it and get given it for favours to whichever government is in power at the time. I have no feeling about the one JL has apart from glad he is recognised with a national award. the biggest dis-service to anyone worthy of these awards is the uk are still handing out gongs with the term British Empire on them given all pain and suffering it caused.

I'm not sure what the American equivalent would be, but maybe a Kennedy Center honor comes close? Congrats to the MAN! Well deserved.

Yay! Congratulations Jeff!
Jeff Lynne OBE has a nice sound to it. This is one of the few good things to happen this year. It really should be a knighthood or a CBE in recognition of years of joy but at least his honour is one up from Lennon's if a couple of steps down from Macca's. I was shocked I did not hear about this news on the actual news. They seemed too busy talking about Mary Berry's cakes.

Thanks for the comparison of honors. Silly me thought it all the same.

I'm afraid neither British Honours nor Presidential Medals are as good as Lucky Wilbury's Nobel Prize for Literature.
