What was Sir Terry Wogan knighted with sir for?

Answer 1

Firstly he wasn't knighted with sir, upon being Knighted if you are a British or Commonwealth citizen you become "Sir". The female equivalent is "Dame"

He was knighted for services to Broadcasting, anyone who knows a little about him knows he has been a very successful TV and Radio presenter for years. I first remember him presenting the Quiz show Blankety Blank, followed by his chat Show "Wogan" which was replaced with "Eastenders"

Answer 2

Bob Geldof has to ask the Irish top Minister permission to settle for the honor. Taoiseach is Irish for high Minister. The British press call him Sir. Bono is have been given an honorary knighthood, even the corrs have been given MBE on the Brithish embassy in Dublin. Titles are banned interior the Irish Republic under the Irish shape. Terry Wogan has twin passport that why he in a position to apply his call Sir.

Answer 3

He was awarded an honorary knighthood as he's not actually a British citizen.
He was recognized for his services to broadcasting, but is not eligible to be knighted as he's Irish and not English and cannot be called "Sir Terry Wogan".
Bill Gates also has an honorary knighthood.

Answer 4

They give knighthoods to anybody these days, mostly undesrved (as in this case) rock stars who shake their buts and ya ya ya at everyone. Footballers, who's only qualification in life is to kick a bag of wind accross a field
and pull their shirts over their heads. In short, all but those
who deserve it!

Answer 5

Isn't he the sarcastic, bitter foreign music hating chap who talks over everyone at Eurovision ?

Answer 6

For being a harmless old fool.

Answer 7

Perhaps they ran out of corrupt politicians and lazy civil servants that year.......
