Here's what Johnny has said about his commendation:

"I am obviously delighted to be receiving this MBE, as are all of my family - it's a rare excuse for a party down in London. I am just wondering if, after 55 years in the business, this may simply be just for good attendance……and just wait until Malcolm Hamilton hears about it - I'll be the talk of Shieldinch!"

Congratulations, Johnny!
