“I see this as a huge honour for me and my family and I think of how proud my Liverpool mum and dad would have been to see this.”
[Paul’s statement about receiving The Companion of Honour award today, 4th May 2018]
Photos of Paul, accompanied by Nancy, at Buckingham Palace today to receive The Companion of Honour award from the Queen. Paul wore a custom made suit, designed by Stella.
The Companion of Honour was established in 1917 as a special award which can be held by only 65 people at any one time. It recognises services of national importance and has been granted to people who have made major contributions to arts, science, medicine or government. The award doesn’t come with a title or precedence, but those inducted into the single-class order are entitled to use the post-nominal letters CH. Potentially, Paul could style his name as Sir Paul McCartney, Kt, MBE, CH. There are currently 62 members including our Paul.
