Barry Humphries receives CBE
Mikey 2 commentsI have never been a fan of Dame Edna but by jove it's good to see an Aussie receive this sort of acknowledgement. Barry Humphries has received the CBE (Commander of the British Empire) from the Queen for his life time achievement in the field of entertainment, which spans over 50 years.
It is not known however if his characters are to be addressed as 'Sir' Dame Edna and 'Sir' Sir Les Patterson.
