[edit] CBE

Technically, the Sir in front of his name is not allowed, see OBE. He should be called 'Steve Redgrave, CBE', as he is not a knight.

No. Steve was awarded the MBE in the New Year's Honours List in 1987 and the CBE in the New Year's Honours List of 1997 and following his success in Sydney was awarded a Knighthood in the 2001 New Years Honours List. --LiamE 00:08, 10 August 2007 (UTC)
