Very nice, Chris. I always try to read the entire list, sometimes it's very enlightening. I read another article about Scottish-born retired milkman George Bell received an OBE for being a great milkman for 34 years!

I saw another article that mentioned actor Robbie Coltrane receiving an award, but I couldn't seem to find his name on the list.

A good idea indeed... But how about the other civilian orders? The Order of the Bath (civilian), Order of St. Michael and St. George and Royal Victorian Order, although less frequently awarded, have not been dicontinued as far as I know. And the military awards? The military are occassionally seen in an attire other than a uniform!
