Terry Pratchett - knighted!

[Shannon]

Terry Pratchett was knighted by the Queen today (click on the link to watch it and an interview with Sir Terry).

I love it when people from the arts get recognition :)

[Robin]

Wow --- That's impresive !!

He's one of my favorite authors - I'm glad he's getting more recognition.

Knighting entertainers has always seemed a little weird to me. Still, few of them deserve it more than Pratchett.

Wow - that's a cool choice! Sir Terry Pratchett - that's amazing!
But otherwise I agree with Thomas - it's a bit weird to knight entertainers. What criteria can you possibly use to choose?

Representation of his country to the world through lifetime acheivements, I would imagine.

I am pretty happy to learn of this. I didn't realize that he had been diagnosed with Alzheimer's until a few months ago and was pretty upset about it. Glad that he was able to enjoy the accolades.
