Did I hear Lynda mentioning thanking all the people involved in
nominating her for her MBE?

Because I thought that one of the rules about honours is that no-one is
allowed to divulge who was involved in making the nomination?

I think she way talking to a crowd which may have included those who
nominated her and she was thanking them - but she will not know
individually who they might be.

No, she was talking to Robert when she said that; it was something which
struck me, as well. I hadn't known it was a definite rule that no-one
was allowed to divulge that information but I was fairly sure she
wouldn't have been told.

She seemed to think it was "the community" who had nominated her. (Is
that even possible? I thought the process had to be at least initiated
by a named individual. BICBAM.) If that's all she'd been told, then I
don't think the sort of thank you she gave out would bother anyone.

When a committee member some years ago, between us, all the committee
members nominated the (at the time absent) Chairman for a Queen’s Award -
so yes, a group can nominate a person.

He wasn’t accepted for that but he and his wofe went to a Buck ‘ouse garden
party.
