Posted April 13, 200718 yr http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/3/3c/BKnewsscreenshot.JPG In 2006 it was announced that Knight was to be awarded an MBE in acknowledgement for her services to music and the work she does on behalf of several charities. She was presented with the accolade by Queen Elizabeth II at a ceremony at Buckingham Palace in February 2007. After the ceremony Knight remarked that the recognition "reflects not only on my whole career but the work I do for charities which is immensely important to me. I do not do that to be awarded for it, I just do it because it's in my heart, but to be recognised for it, hopefully will put the magnifying glass on to them as well". In September 2005 Knight was presented with an honorary degree from the University of Wolverhampton. After being made a Doctor of Music, she stated: “I am proud to say I am Black, female and British but it is still all me, I have not forgotten my roots. I am enormously proud to be receiving this award, it is a great honour and also very humbling.â€. Professor Craig Mahoney from the University announced “we are delighted to bestow on Beverley the award of an honorary degree of doctor of music in recognition of her outstanding contribution to music and the local community, and in recognition of her extensive charity work.†:cheer: go bev

April 13, 200718 yr What's a Doctor of Music? Well basically, at university you do various types of degrees in whatever subject you like - when you finish the very highest type of degree (I think it's a PhD) you can offically call yourself 'Doctor'. For example, if you watch Friends Ross is a Doctor of Scientology I think :huh: That means he has studied for a PhD in Scientology. EDIT: Or is it palaeontology? :unsure:
