Queen Elizabeth II has announced that Bono (Paul Hewson) is to be made an honourary knight in recognition of his work to erradicate poverty, particularly in Africa. The official title is Knight Commander of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire. There will be no "Sir Bono" as this award is conferred upon citizens of countries of which the Queen is not head of state. Bono is Irish.
This typist salutes you, Bono, for your good works and your good music.
