Arise, Dame Kate! - well not quite, it's Kate Bush, Commander of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire (CBE), but it is a long-awaited honour for one of the UK's most successful female artists in history...

Among a hefty list of New Year Honours announced today are (of course) Olympians - among whom are Sirs Bradley Wiggins and Ben Ainslie, fellow CBEs Jessica Ennis and Mo Farah, Ellie Simmonds and Andy Murray OBE - but not the maestro of the opening ceremony Danny Boyle (who apparently turned down the offer of a gong); Sir Quentin Blake (illustrator), Arlene Phillips (choreographer) and Tracey-fucking-Emin CBE, and Stella McCartney OBE...
...and über-totty (and dream houseboy here at Dolores Delargo Towers) Ewan McGregor OBE!
