Congrats to June!

June Brown, another almost eternal presence on the small screen, was appointed MBE for playing the sanctimonious, judgmental and two-faced Dot Cotton on the BBC soap EastEnders, as well as for her charity work.

BBC NEWS -

June Brown, who has had two stints as busybody chain smoker Dot Cotton on EastEnders, was recommended for her honour by fellow cast member Leslie Grantham.

The 81-year-old said it was "lovely" to be joining fellow EastEnders stars Barbara Windsor and Wendy Richard, who have previously received honours.
Leslie recommended her! Aww!

Aww well done June!

Congratulations to June Brown, who's been given an MBE for her services to drama and charity.

June Brown has played EastEnders icon Dot Branning since 1985. Earlier this year she won critical acclaim when she performed the show's first solo episode.

June said of the honour: "It's lovely to be joining the actors Rudolph Walker, Barbara Windsor and of course Wendy Richard from EastEnders in being given an honour. I'm delighted for my main charity, The Michael Elliott Trust, of which I am president, and all my smaller charities. Not forgetting my family who are very happy for me."

EastEnders Executive Producer Diederick Santer spoke of June as "a truly special woman and perfomer,“ adding, "We're incredibly proud of her as she receives this much-deserved honour.”

Nope, I would put her up there with Victoria Wood, Judi Dench and just for you Bonze Helen Worth, but that just might be me.

So happy she got some recognition, but I'm still in awe as to how Bruce Forsyth hasent got some recognition, over 60 years and nothing.
