Hi, do you know when Gillian will be given her OBE? I’ve been trying to find a date on the internet but not come up with anything. Thank you in advance.

Sorry, anon, I think it happened already, without a big a ceremony and without us knowing it happened. When we found out, she was OBE already.

Is there a special ceremony where Gillian will receive her OBE?

Nope, it’s done already, and it probably happened without a ceremony.

Did you notice on the reading ad thing Gillian tweeted, her name now has an OBE beside it? :-)) I remember some people were telling you it’s made up but obviously she’s using it now.

Yes, I guess such an organization wouldn’t write that if it wasn’t true. 👑

I’m not convinced about this OBE award. I can’t find anywhere, and I mean anywhere, actual proof that this award was given to G. There’s been no listings (that I can find). The link to the UK gov site is the only link. It was released to a Tumblr blog. Really? People actually believe this? The real UK gov website doesn’t even list this award being received by G. At events like today’s she would have been addressed with the OBE after her name. Show me actual, legit proof, and then I’ll believe.

I don’t know, anon. The link seems legit, she’s apparently OBE since last August, though. I’m not British, so I’m not sure, but is there necessarily a ceremony for that? I guess we’ll see if Gillian does some press in the U.K. They’ll probably mention it.

Did I miss something. When has Gillian been an OBE?? I know people want her to be

Yes! It has become official this week. Sorry, I’m on mobile, but here’s the link:
