Kate Bush’s CBE will ‘go on top of Christmas tree’

Kate Bush, one of Britain’s most unique and innovative singers, was made a CBE by Queen Elizabeth and dedicated the honour to her family and musical collaborators.

From precocious teenager, whose first single Wuthering Heights was a number one, to veteran musician who released her award-winning 10th studio album in 2011, her talent has stood the test of time.

But she joked after receiving the honour that the award would now have pride of place — at the top of her Christmas tree.
