Sir Bono to join ranks of Sir Bob and Sir Tony

U2 singer, Bono, is to receive an honorary knighthood from Queen Elizabeth II, according to a report on the RTE website. The honour will be presented by the British Ambassador to Ireland in the New Year. It comes on the recommendation of Tony Blair, who stated in a letter that Bono was influential in the run-up to last year's G8 summit which had a focus on helping poor nations in Africa.

Bono will be a Knight Commander of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire, or KBE.
