Disappointed too that David Weir won 4 golds at the Paralympics and only got a CBE. Some of those with a gold medal got lumped in with the others at M level, and I haven't seen gold medal winner Nick Skelton on the list at all. All very inconsistent and mysterious, whatever your view of the system.
Skelton was awarded an OBE just 6 months ago in the Queen's Birthday honours list. Weir's knighthood is surely only a matter of time.
