Ron Dennis to get long overdue knighthood

After spending decades at the top of Formula One, Ron Dennis is finally going to receive his much deserved knighthood but it will be for services to television, not motorsport.

According to Buckingham Palace (pictured left, yesterday) Her Majesty The Queen… was getting more and more annoyed last Sunday, that her enjoyment of watching the British Grand Prix was being spoilt by Eddie Jordan in full Jeremy Paxman mode, badgering Christian Horner for no apparent reason.

Her Majesty was close to switching off, when Ron snuck up behind Jordan and deftly cut his headset wires, rendering him speechless, making it impossible for the Irishman to ask Horner the same question for a seventh time.

Dennis is due at the Palace for a special investiture next month.
