Last knight John Williams will be honoured for his film scores


One of the last honours that the Queen had given her approval for before her death last month was the honorary knighthood given to Star Wars composer John Williams.

The American composed the music for a large number of blockbuster movies, including Jaws, two Jurassic Park films, and three Harry Potter movies.

A list of honorary honours for foreign nationals was revised yesterday night and added his prize for contributions to cinema music. Her Late Majesty gave her blessing to it.

Robert Iger, 71, a former head of Disney, has also received an honorary KBE for his contributions to US-UK ties.

Williams, 90, started his career in the early 1950s and was born in New York City. 25 Grammy Awards, seven Bafta Awards, and five Oscars are among his accomplishments. Additionally, he wrote the music for the Schindler’s List, Saving Private Ryan, and Indiana Jones movies.

Foreigners and Commonwealth citizens who have made remarkable contributions to the UK are recognised with honorary awards. Bill Gates, the creator of Microsoft, his ex-wife Melinda, and filmmaker Steven Spielberg are among the other owners.

Unlike British citizens, recipients are not permitted to address themselves as “Sir” or “Dame.”

The veteran left-back from Zimbabwe, age 36, has replaced Ronwen Williams, who joined Mamelodi Sundowns, another Tshwane team. “He has extensive experience” (Gavin Hunt) Bhasera joined Matsatsantsa from Bidvest Wits in 2016 and has since participated in 156 games across all competitions for the team. Bash will serve as the team’s captain this year, according to a report from Gavin Hunt on Soccer Laduma. “He is a fantastic professional, and he has the experience. I believe he will accept the position since he is a leader. He will do well in this capacity, in my opinion. “It’s crucial for someone to join and be verbal and maintain the highest standards imaginable, which is true both on and off the field. Bash will succeed, I’m confident. He has my complete backing. I choose him. The vote was democratic. That was me. Being the captain carries a lot of responsibility, Bhasera continued. SuperSport is a large club, but I have to take it on with both hands and undoubtedly set an example by going out there myself. It’s going to be an exciting season because I have to play at the top of my game. “Ronwen did a great job for the club, so it’s a major loss, but it also presents a great opportunity for someone else to step forward and take his or her place. Williams has left, but that is football. The players are constantly on the move. He’ll do well at his new club, we hope. SuperSport United placed ninth in the DStv Premiership last year, but this year, larger things are anticipated from the team.
