Weller Snubbed Queen's Honours

PAUL WELLER once turned down a notable award from Britain's QUEEN ELIZABETH II, branding the honour from the royal "silly".

The former The Jam frontman has revealed he was to be saluted by Her Majesty for his illustrious music career but he declined the offer.

And Weller admits he has no regrets over his decision - because he has no interest in the Queen's honours.

He says, "I have turned it down, yeah. About two or three years ago they offered me some silly title but I managed to turn that one down. I don't understand all that."
