Barry Humphries Collects CBE!

Hello, Possums!

Although we're thrilled, we suspect Dame Edna may not be pleased to hear the news that her manager, Barry Humphries, has just been to see her good friend the Queen to collect his CBE. The big event took place at Buckingham Palace yesterday, 10th October.

Of course, both Dame Edna and Sir Les have been enjoying their esteemed titles for years, so perhaps they won't begrudge little Barry his moment in the royal glow? In that regard, upon receiving the news of the award earlier this year, Humphries remarked
"I'm deeply honoured. At last I can address Sir Les Patterson and Dame Edna on an improved footing".

We first brought you news of the award in a June posting, and now you can check out the full BBC coverage here:
