David Bowie declined knighthood in 2003.
"I would suggest they give it to someone who give a damn. There's some people who kind of feel it's something that enhances their life and whatever. I'm not sure what I'd do with it. I'd lose it or break it or put it in a drawer and lose the key. I wouldn't know what it's for, I wouldn't know how it would enhance my life. It's not on my shopping list."

Our nation is poorer for the passing of Dame Marie Bashir and Australia is richer for her life.
Her lifetime of service to the medical profession, her community and her fellow Australians was defined by her powerful sense of duty and her abiding passion for helping others.
As the first woman to serve as Governor of New South Wales she was both a pioneer and an inspiration.
In all she did, Dame Marie blended dignity with warmth and intellect with empathy.
Our heartfelt condolences to all who mourn her passing.
Married to Sir Nicholas Shehadie AC OBE for 61 years, and a deeply loved mother of three children and six grandchildren, Dame Marie was an extraordinary Australian and one of New South Wales’ most respected public servants.
