Rock star Rod on New Year’s Honours list

ROCK star Rod Stewart was honoured by the Queen yesterday in the New Year Honours.

The veteran singer, who gets a CBE, is joined in the list by Coronation Street stalwart Johnny Briggs and the Queen’s own granddaughter Zara Phillips.

Briggs is rewarded with an MBE after retiring from the soap earlier this year, having played dodgy businessman Mike Baldwin for three decades.
