So, my little sister's boyfriend gets a Royal Victorian Medal in this years Birthday Honours List, after 16 years of continuous service a well deserved recognition, I know how hard he works so well done Sir John lol. Seriously though, well done.
Bizarrely, it is also my sisters birthday today so a double celebration, but no, it's a triple celebration as he is also getting a Police Commendation for tackling a robber during an armed robbery, as in his spare time (!) he is a Special Constable.
So, as well as being very proud of John and Jenny I am also disappointed that Bruce Forsyth was yet again missed off the list.
Come on people, Brucie deserves this.
