That's fantastic news. . . And well deserved. Bravo, Mr. Lee!

My congratulations on another well-deserved honour! It appears that the French have excellent taste in choosing whom they present with awards. That being said, I must confess that I was under the impression that Mr. Lee had already been awarded the designation of Officier of Arts, Sciences and Lettres, so I've no idea if this is new (does one receive this designation more than once?) or if this is simply the actual ceremony for the previous designation. Juan? Oscar? Do tell! Cheers!

Mr Lee already is, as Charles rightly said, Officer of Arts, Sciences and Letters. His new distinction will be the highest that can be given to a foreigner and I believe it is the first of its kind. "French Officer" is only given to French citizens. But there is much more to it than that... I have just been on the phone to Mr Lee and he has asked me to close this thread. This cannot be talked about until he actually receives it. The BBC should have not jumped the gun, specially when French newspapers haven't. The press in this country like to spoil things for everyone, it certainly has done for me as I would rather wait for it to be official and listen to Mr Lee's reaction. Thanks for his early congratulations but you must first find out the complete story. Nothing will be officially said until the 11th, day in which he gets it. Quote:
