a great man, he deserves this.

Member of the Order of the British Empire (MBE)

it is a honour bestowed by the Queen, there were IIRC over 1000 this year, an MBE is just one type, Sir Terry Pratchett got an OBE a few years ago and that is why he is referred to as SIR.

Hector helped Sir Terry make a sword a few years ago

Congratulations to Hector, well deserved,

 

However, a small correction, the award of the MBE, or OBE does not equate to a knighthood and the privilege of bearing the title Sir, to have that privilege, the award is KBE, equivelant for the ladies is DBE, (Dame)

 

Terry Pratchett was awarded the OBE in 1998, and awarded/received his KBE (knighthood) in 2009,
