As reported at the end of 2016, Marty Wilde was to be awarded an MBE. Today was the great day.
Rock ‘n’ roll star Marty Wilde received an MBE for services to music today. He appeared at Buckingham Palace today with his wife Joyce and daughters Kim and Roxanne. Kim was the first to report on this, with a lovely picture of the four of them:
