Maaan...I just posted a few weeks ago about England handing these things out like gumballs for a penny mickey..I said the Queen might as well stand in the back of a pickup truck and wing these medals out into the crowds, and here she is doing it again! Hey, I`m just waiting when Keith Richards gets knighted

Queens as far back as Elizabeth the First handed out goodies to society favorites, courtiers, boyfriends, rakes, and the like. This is nothing new.
