[source: NME.com] Bono became a Knight of the British Empire on Thursday March 29 in a ceremony at the Dublin home of British Ambassador David Reddaway. The U2 frontman was honoured for his humanitarian work and services to the music industry, which included organising Live 8 with Bob Geldof in 2005. "You have permission to call me anything you want… except Sir, all right? Lord of Lords, Your Demi-Godness – that'll do," Bono joked with reporters after the ceremony. The singer was not awarded the title of Sir because he is not a British national. Bono was accompanied by his wife, Ali, and their four children – Jordan, 17; Eve, 15; Elijah, 7; and John, 5. U2 guitarist The Edge and bassist Adam Clayton also attended. In 2003, the singer was presented with the Legion D'Honneur by French President Jacques Chirac, while 2005 saw him win Time Person Of The Year.
