Only Paul McCartney, and John Lennon returned his MBE four years after he received it to protest various government policies. There was an internet petition and calls by a Tory MP last year for Ringo Starr to receive a knighthood, too, but I'm not sure how likely this is. His solo career certainly hasn't merited one, and he contributed less to the Beatles than the other three.

All of the Beatles recieved MBEs, even though John Lennon returned his later because he didn't agree with the government's position in the war. Later, only Paul McCartney was knighted, but he dedicated it to the Beatles.

It was just Paul who was knighted. The Beatles were each awarded the MBE for services to the music industry on 12th June 1965...

Just Paul. I know that John Lennon had already been shot, and I think that Ringo Starr was already dead as well, I'm not sure if George had died yet, or not.
