London Adult Entertainment: Honouring our ordinary heroesJanuary 1st, 2010 | London adult entertainment |

These people sum up what the honours system is all about – recognising ordinary people who do extraordinary things. Today’s figures, just like the figures for the Queen’s birthday honours list in June, back this up. Long gone are the days when it looked like there were “automatic” knighthoods for chairs of large companies, top civil servants or lord mayors of London. Now, 73% of recipients are everyday people who are being honoured for years of service. And, without the honours system, it is possible that they would never receive any public recognition for their excellent work. That would mean we might never get to hear about the work of Sister Lynda Dearlove who founded a charity to support women who have been the victims of prostitution and sexual trafficking. She is getting an MBE today, along with Susan Clark, who has spent 33 years teaching disabled children to swim in Stockton-on-Tees. See the full article from “The Guardian”
