A Professor Porter from RCDM Birmingham has received a Knighthood for his service in helping severly wounded service personel on their return from Afghanistan etc
A Huge congratulations, after watching the flying hospital programme on TV a few weeks ago it is good to see that people who do this kind of work are honoured.

I was as much pleased to see who hadn't got a gong, I think the new goverment may be trying to make sure that gongs go to the right people rather than the new 'Celebrity Culture' which has cropped up in recent years.
