Reply to comment by fourleggedostrich in Brian May gets a knighthood in New Year Honours list by StephenHunterUK
From the article:
The musician, astrophysicist and animal welfare advocate is knighted for services to music and charity, after more than 50 years in one of Britain's most popular rock bands.
Sir Brian was previously appointed a CBE in 2005, while Queen drummer Roger Taylor was made an OBE in the 2020 New Year Honours.
On being recognised for his campaigning work, Sir Brian told BBC News: "This is a kind of licence, a kind of commission to carry on doing what I'm doing, and it gives me a bit more power to my elbow. So I'm very happy about that."

This is a “use it or lose it” benefit so it’s not really in the company’s interest to help you claim it.
These are very common in big companies to make your bottom line “package” look impressive without adding to your actual base pay (which the important benefits like pension and bonus are tied to). Usual corporate nonsense.

If you like Nadja (Natasia Demetriou) I highly recommend her brother’s sitcom Stath Lets Flats. She played his sister and is amazing in it.
