David Bowie, the musician, who turned down a knighthood in 2003, said “I seriously don't know what its for” Having also refused a CBE (Commander of the British Empire) in 2000, it seems x unlikely he will ever accept any honour, Some people must have * regretted refusing an award the first time because they later accepted one — examples include the author Graham Greene and the film director Alfred Hitchcock Others have been disappointed with their award and have refused it because they expected something better. Roald Dahl, the children’s author, was offered an OBE (Officer of the Order of the British Empire) but wanted a knighthood so that his wife would get the title “Lady Dahl’ Many of the refusals, however, are at least in part a form of political protest Stephen Hawking, the scientist, was . frustrated with the government's attitude toward scientific funding over the years, Hence, he turned down his knighthood, Clearly there are a variety of reasons why people might do this and not even good friends ” agree on the subject. Mick Jagger from the Rolling Stones is now ‘Sir Mick’ after accepting a knighthood in 2003. However, bandmate Keith Richards refused his CBE and said, “Its not what the [Rolling] Stones is about, is it?”2A Relative clauses (250 @ Join these sentences, replacing each * with a relative clause, Make necessary changes. 1 Anex-soldier * has become the oldest person to be awarded a PhD by Cambridge University, He is 91 years old. ‘Anex-soldier, who is 91 years old, has become the oldest ‘person to be awarded a PhD by Cambridge University, 2 Colonel Michael Cobb’ PhD * is called The Raifways of Great Britain: A Historical Atlas.
