Arise, Sir Tony: former UK leader made Garter Knight by Queen Elizabeth – The National
Tony Blair, the man who defined generational change for British voters in the late 1990s, was granted one of the country's highest honours by Queen Elizabeth II at the New Year.
The prime minister between 1997 and 2007 was made one of only 24 knights of Companion of the Garter, an order of chivalry that is in the gift of the monarch and outranks other orders. His predecessor, Sir John Major, is also a member of the order.
“It is an immense honour to be appointed Knight Companion of the Most Noble Order of the Garter, and I am deeply grateful to Her Majesty the Queen,” Mr Blair said.
