Notes | News: 15 June: "Old guard protest at MBEs for Beatles. Somehow the words, John Lennon, MBE, have an unexpected ring to them. And while the MBEs for all four Beatles in the Birthday honours list has delighted pop fans, it has outraged others. Some members of the Order of the British Empire are returning the insignia of the order as a protest against the awards to the Beatles. They feel that these honours, presumably suggested by the Prime Minister, Harold Wilson, diminish the value of their own award". [Chronicle of the 20th century] |
