Title: New Years Honours - 2017
Post by: Chris from Nailsea on December 31, 2016, 01:29:24
Having perused this New Years Honours List, I note that Mrs Vivien Cooper, a volunteer for the Great Western Society at Didcot Railway Centre, has been awarded an OBE 'for services to railway heritage'.

Congratulations, Mrs Cooper, OBE!  ;)

Article from The Didcot Herald about Viv Cooper (http://www.heraldseries.co.uk/news/hsdidcotnews/14999922.WHAT_AN_HONOUR__Volunteer_celebrates_golden_era_with_railway_centre_and_special_medal/). Apparently it was a BEM rather than an OBE.

In which case, may I offer my sincere apologies for misreading the Honours List, Mrs Cooper.  :-[
