"Paul McCartney has revealed that he believes Ringo Starr should receive a knighthood from the Queen. McCartney was awarded a knighthood from The Queen in 1997, while Starr (real name Richard Starkey) currently only has an MBE. Bruce Forsyth was among those given a knighthood in this year&amp;#039;s Birthday Honours List, with Starr left out once again. McCartney told Absolute Radio: &amp;quot;Yeah, well, don&amp;#039;t look at me. The last time I went by she (the Queen) was out. &amp;quot;Otherwise I would have popped in and said &amp;#039;Look, love, Sir Richard Starkey&amp;#039;. Because I do think it&amp;#039;s about time, but she probably was a bit busy with Sir Brucie.&amp;quot; Ringo Starr recently said that The Beatles were &amp;quot;lucky&amp;quot; to have him as their drummer. Paul McCartney is set to release an album of pop standards next year. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
