Adele And Mr Bean Honored in Queen Elizabeth’s Birthday List

Grammy Award-winning singer Adele and Mr Bean actor Rowan Atkinson were among more than 1,000 people recognized by Britain’s Queen Elizabeth in her Birthday Honors List on Friday.

Marking the monarch’s official 87th birthday, the honors went to 1,180 recipients from all walks of life, from a beekeeper and a whisky maker to diplomats, artists and business leaders.

London-born Adele, 25, was awarded an MBE – member of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire – for services to music. Comedian Atkinson, known to millions of fans around the world for his bungling creation Mr Bean, was given a CBE, Commander of the Order of the British Empire.


A knighthood went to actor Tony Robinson, who played Atkinson’s long-suffering servant Baldrick in “Blackadder”, a popular BBC comedy series set in different periods of British history. “Some might say that Blackadder (Atkinson’s bullying character) will finally have to treat Baldrick with a bit more respect,” Bob Kerslake, head of Britain’s civil service, told a news conference.
