ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½
staff honoured in The Queen's Special Honours List
Six
members of the ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½Â’s Golden Jubilee team have been awarded
honours in The QueenÂ’s Special Honours List, announced today.
Nick
Vaughan-Barratt and Bill Morris, who co-ordinated all the Golden
Jubilee programming for ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ television and radio, have been appointed
Lieutenants of the Royal Victorian Order (LVO) as has Robbie Williams,
who project-managed the huge production of the two concerts in the
gardens of Buckingham Palace.
Lorna
Dickinson, who was the Executive Producer of the Party at the Palace,
and Peter Maniura, who was the Executive Producer of the Prom at
the Palace, have been made Members of the Royal Victorian Order
(MVO) along with Mark Fisher, Creative Consultant and Set Designer
of the concerts.
Nick Vaughan-Barratt has also been responsible for the ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ coverage
of numerous high-profile royal events over the years, including
the wedding of the Prince and Princess of Wales and the funeral
of the Queen Mother.
He said: "It was a huge privilege to be involved in all the
Golden Jubilee plans and particularly to work so closely with Buckingham
Palace on the two Queen's Concerts which proved to be so successful.
"These
awards represent the work of hundreds of people in the ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ over
the Jubilee weekend. Nevertheless, the few of us who were lucky
enough to receive an award are now looking forward to getting better
service at the ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ canteen."
On hearing of her award, Lorna Dickinson said: "I was absolutely
gobsmacked. I knew the Royal Family liked Ozzy Osbourne, but not
quite how much."
