Terry Pratchett is set to recieve an honour and becomes SIR Terry Pratchett! Best news I've heard all year.
"In the entertainment world, a knighthood for Terry Pratchett is recognition for a writing career that has seen him sell more than 55 million books worldwide, including his best-known Discworld series.
"There are times when phrases such as 'totally astonished' just don't do the job," said Sir Terry about the honour. The 60-year-old has become a campaigner for more research into Alzheimer's disease after being diagnosed with the illness in 2007."
