Honour For Delia Smith
Television chef Delia Smith has been made a CBE in this
year's Queen's Birthday Honours list.
She said she thought her CBE was in recognition of "writing
recipes for 40 years".
She said: "It's difficult for me because what I do - I write
recipes and demonstrate them on TV - feels just like regular, everyday work.
"It doesn't feel like it deserves any special honour."
Royle Family actress Sue Johnston, actor Alan Cumming and Fat Friends writer
Kay Mellor become OBEs.
Former Brookside actress Johnston, best known for playing Barbara Royle,
said she was "delighted and honoured" at becoming OBE.
"I am only sorry that my parents are not here as they would have been so
proud," she added.
Actress Anna Wing, 94, who played Lou Beale in BBC soap EastEnders, said
becoming MBE was "the icing on the cake".
"As a child I used to cling to the railings of Buckingham Palace never
thinking that one day I would be decorated by the Queen."
Actor James Bolam, 70, best known for 1960s TV hit The Likely
Lads, is appointed MBE,
