Sting is mentioned in the following article as having been awarded a CBE. Any Britons out there care to explain in further detail to us Yanks? Does this mean that he probably won't ever be awarded knighthood? I am dying to call him Sir Sting! :)

A CBE is often a stepping-stone to a full knighthood: if you look at the list of knighthoods in http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/2987736.stm you'll see a fair few CBEs. However, I believe Sting has said in the past that he'd rather not be Sir Sting, as Lord Sting sounds so much better ;-). Sam -- Home page: http://www.illuminated.co.uk/
