It's Sir Ringo Starr now!

Queen Elizabeth has knighted, among others, Richard Starkey aka Ringo Starr and Barry Gibb from the Bee Gees.

I sure hope Sir Ringo was able to act naturally during the ceremony. I'm sure he did, with a little help from his friend, already-knighted Sir Paul.

Beatles forever! Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeaaaaaah!

@cherry I didn't, but am still thrilled he was knighted. He seems to be a very, very nice person from everything I've ever read about him. I remember when Lennon was killed Ringo left the Bahamas immediately where he was vacationing with his wife, and went to NYC to see if there was anything he could do for Yoko. That's just one of many very nice stories I've read about him.

Seems like this would have happened years ago. Better late than never. Congratulations!

@Nancy Drew Better now than posthumously. He is getting up there in years....

@Pearlee,

The B are classics and Ringo is lots of fun he deserves it🌻plus talented and low maintenance for a real celebrity.

Finally got his long overdue recognition. He has always been underrated.

. Great Talent. Congrats, Sir Ringo!

@Shorty2U I have seen Sir Paul three times in concert, the last two times within the past two years. He puts on a fabulous concert. Please do go see him if you get a chance. My sister in Florida saw him on his latest tour and was so happy she'd gone (she really couldn't afford it). She also thought it was fabulous (her word) and a memory that will last a lifetime. Sir Paul's concerts are, by far, the best live music I have ever seen, and I go to quite a few live music concerts each year.

@Pearlee, Thanks for the info, I was not aware of this, I always liked Ringo, saw the Beatles in Atlanta in 1965!
