He's now formaly addressed as: David Gilmor CBE
The Mosr Excellent Order of the British Empire was founded in 1917. It is the newest of the British Crown's six active orders of chivalry. (Three more no longer have apointments made to them) If I recall correctly, it has four degrees:
Member: MBE (The four Beatles got this in the 60's)
Commander: CBE
Knight Commander: KCBE
Knight Grand Cross: GCBE
(I'm doing this from memory, but I think I got the four ranks right.)
