THANK YOU ALL for your fantastic messages, emails and in person congratulations on my knighthood.

I am still stunned but so pleased that in some way this recognises everyone who has looked after me, our businesses and clubs over the years.

You all deserve recognition for this and I thank you from the bottom of my heart for your warm and generous response to this amazing honour.

I will try in the next few weeks to get back to those of you who have messaged me, please forgive me if it takes some time.
