March 29, 2007

On this day in 2007, U2 frontman Bono formally accepted an honorary knighthood. It was bestowed upon him by British Ambassador to Ireland David Reddaway at a ceremony in Dublin. Bono joked that his youngest son believed he was instead being made a Jedi, and was disappointed about the lack of light sabers at the event.

His official title is Knight Commander of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire. Other non-British citizens to receive this title are Bill Gates, former New York City Mayor Rudolph Giuliani, and filmmaker Steven Spielberg.
