About time, he's a true legend as all the Beatles were ...we are glad we had chance to meet him,,,,,,and lucky to see Paul in concert several times,,,thank-you for the music you gave to the world.

There is never going to be another Beatles. When Paul or Ringo are the last to leave this planet, it will be a worldwide day of mourning. The Beatles really changed the world in the 8 years.........

To bad John and George couldn't be knighted as well.....as they pass on....





Peace and Love

FOR JOHN AND GEORGE ..MISS THEM.....

Peace and love!

[Susan Calvin]

18. Well finally! nt

[Iamaartist]

27. Finally .......

[DonaldsRump]

19. Hooray!

We saw him this year at his Ringo and All-Starr Band concert. It was a fabulous time, and he is an utterly charming entertainer.

Great drummer too. At 77 years old, he was pounding away on the skins.

Well done, Sir Ringo, and Happy Xmas to you!

[Iamaartist]

28. Great Sir Ringo.....also thought it should have been done long time ago....but finally.....

We seen him in concert too we are lucky to still have both here today.....

[mountain grammy]

[Iamaartist]

32. COOL LOVE IT.......

[cp]

24. Noble sir

Well deserved. Being alive for the Beatles was, is, and always will be one of the best parts of my life.

[Iamaartist]

34. For us here to ...we where lucky to be part of that era.....

They will always but part of our life to hubby and me...love those BEATLES.....

[RandomAccess]

25. They really did change the world.

I watched a special on PBS a couple of times just about the Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band album, how incredibly creative it was from start to finish, changing music forever. Fascinating stuff. Whodathunkit?

I wasn't a huge fan in the day, but I have to say they definitely made a huge impact on the entire WORLD.

[Iamaartist]

35. We seen that.... was great...

thank-you

[Motley13]

26. Yea! the best group EVER

[Iamaartist]

36. I AGREE

Here at home we listen... to their music everyday

[JohnnyRingo]

33. Does anyone not like Ringo?

Even if one doesn't like The Beatles, Ringo has a catalog that continues with The All Starr Band.

[Iamaartist]

37. True...For Us Big Beatles Fans....

[Dennis Donovan]

38. FINALLY! And, if it's not too much to ask, Mum...

...a posthumous honor for John and George?

[Iamaartist]

41. I edit my post and put it on there,,,,thank-you... love them all.....

[Dennis Donovan]

48. Thank you!

[Iamaartist]

69. Your welcome.....

[Fiendish Thingy]

51. I believe one must be alive and present themselves before Her Majesty to be Knighted

They were made Members of the British Empire (MBE) is 1965, although John sent his back.

[Iamaartist]

71. I think so to one must be alive.....🎸

[NBachers]

39. It's Knight Time for the Fab Fourth!

[Iamaartist]

42. Thank-you ........

[dawg day]

40. Finally!

This has been long overdue. Beyond the Beatles, he's been a great representative of the droll calm of the British temperament.

Sir Ringo!

[Iamaartist]

43. Agree.

But some those comments on the article where bad.....that's ok we love them any way most of the world does.....

[Brother Buzz]

44. Not bad for a left-handed drummer who made it big.....

and I mean really big, playing a right-handed drum kit.

[Iamaartist]

55. I agree....back then all we had......

[edhopper]

45. It would be

Sir Richard Starkey, which definitely sounds Arthurian.

[spiderpig]

46. This is awesome and well-deserved.

Of course, I have to wonder if this is part of the New Year's Day honors, and will The Queen actually bop him with a sword. She's over 90. What if she accidentally decapitates him? Or is the sword plastic?

Enquiring minds want to know.

Love Ringo and all The Beatles.

[Iamaartist]

70. Funny .......maybe the Queen will....got to love those Beatles 🎸

[padah513]

47. John and George

Should be knighted post humous. If they were alive it's obvious that they already would be. My opinion of course. My Sweet Lord by George is one of my all time favorites and My Guitar Gently Weeps has been covered by everyone from Clapton to Toto to Santana.

[oberliner]

52. John Lennon returned his MBE in protest

For what that is worth.

[Ken Burch]

74. Interesting that you'd mention Clapton covering that song.

It was Clapton who played lead on the original(his work there earned him a place in Rolling Stone Book of Lists on the "Five Greatest George Harrison Guitar Solos Not Played by George Harrison" list).

[Myrddin]

49. Congratulations Sir Ringo!

And...

...although he would never have accepted it, I have often amused myself with the thought of 'Lord' Lennon of Liverpool.

The most boring tv on the planet -coverage of the house of lords - would be pay-per-view with JL in session!

[Iamaartist]

60. Long time coming.....

[JI7]

50. YES

[Iamaartist]

58. Thank-you

[Heartstrings]

53. About time....

Congratulations Sir Ringo, or will he be formally Sir Richard? Not sure how that works in GB.

[Iamaartist]

56. thank-you.....

[bdamomma]

54. There will never be

another group who changed the music culture as THE Beatles did. Their music is timeless.

Sir Ringo has a nice ring to it. He looks great!

[Iamaartist]

57. There will never be a group as them again.....love there music,🎶

[Iamaartist]

59. Ringo and Paul

?strip=all&quality=100&w=960

[Mike Nelson]

61. Good for him...

...although I agree with Lennon sending his MBE back to the Queen. I never warmed up to "Sir" Paul and I'll stick with the simple Ringo. My "Sir" is Sidney Poitier in "To Sir, with Love" - and officers, on occasion.

[JustABozoOnThisBus]

64. Sir Ringo, or Sir Richard?

How correct is all this knighthood stuff?

[BumRushDaShow]

66. It'll probably be Sir Ringo Starr

since Elton John became Sir Elton John (although that was not his given name).

[Iamaartist]

72. I'll Just Call Him Ringo......

Since that's what we called him in my era......growing up

[IluvPitties]

65. Not a Beatles fan by any means but good for him.

[Iamaartist]

73. Thanks

[randr]

67. Kudos Ringo

75. Thank-you for the video,I never get tried of there music....🎸

[ChazInAz]

68. Oh, joy!

Met both Ringo and Paul here in Tucson on different occasions. Paul lived here, and I bumped into him on Fourth Avenue: the beating heart of Tucson's counterculture. Ringo was here on business, and I talked to him in the course of that. Two likable guys.

[Iamaartist]

76. There really are abunch of Nice lads when meeting some of them ...we had a photo with Ringo....

[Iamaartist]
