Tomorrow's papers out tonight are reporting that Bruce Forsyth has got the Knighthood in the birthday honours at last. So it is SIR Bruce.

For services to sub-par presenting, one assumes?

No, a lifetime of entertaining. I am old enough to remember him in Sunday Night at the London Palladium in the early 1960s.

I should also have added that I remember him in a TV production of Oscar Wilde's "The Canterville Ghost" in about 1967. He was very good. Unfortunately the take of it has been wiped. I did enquire because I would have liked to see it again.

Nice to Knight you. To Knight you Nice!

Hurrah and about ruddy time!!!

Congrats Brucie,a long time coming but at long last Sir Bruce.

Does this mean he will now fade gently away into permanent (hopefully) retirement???

I think not, unfortunatly.

JJ (who - like tonyscribble - remembers him when he WAS good!)

About blimmin time I say! Brucie truly deserves that knighthood, it has made my morning reading the news that he's finally been honoured in a fitting manner.

Exactly what I came here to say. Great minds think alike?

I was a bit surprised, seeing how many times it had been rumoured, then not occurring. Well done, but once a knight is never enough

I'm pleased. A long standing wrong was finally righted when Forsyth was knighted! Congratulations Sir Bruce!!

About time too. It was coming eventually
