'Ey up, Lizzy Rex has been on the Gordons again and done something silly - she's gone and given The Corrs MBEs. Because The Corrs are Irish the MBEs are honorary, and we do somewhat imagine that your average staunch republican wouldn't be too chuffed about Irish folk being made members of an Empire they had to break noses to get out of.
Anyway, The Corrs have been given the awards for their contribution to music and charitable organisations, and received the gongs at a ceremony in Dublin.
Stewart Eldon, British Ambassador to Ireland, said that "I am delighted that The Corrs' immense musical contribution has been highlighted in this way. I am sure their many fans around the world will be delighted to hear that they are getting the recognition so richly deserved."
