Brexit’s all over
Knightley and actor Sir Patrick Stewart last week penned a letter backing the Remain campaign.
It warned that Britain would become “an outsider shouting from the wings” in event of Brexit.
Signatories to the letter also include authors Ian McEwan and Hilary Mantel, film directors Danny Boyle and Stephen Frears, actors Dominic West, Benedict Cumberbatch and Sir John Hurt and artists Sir Anish Kapoor and Tracey Emin.
TRIUMPH
Meanwhile, support is continuing to grow for the Sunday Mirror’s campaign to knight the remaining heroes of the winning 1966 team.
England achieved its greatest- ever sporting triumph on July 30, 1966, when our footballers beat West Germany 4-2. But only Bobby Charlton and hat-trick hero Geoff Hurst have been knighted.
The Sunday Mirror’s campaign has been calling for the same honour to be bestowed on England’s other heroes – goalkeeper Gordon Banks, 78; defenders George Cohen, 76, and Ray Wilson, 81; midfielders Jack Charlton, 81, Nobby Stiles, 74, and Martin Peters, 72; and striker Roger Hunt, 77. Leading sporting figures and celebs including Sir Elton John, Gary Lineker and Simon Cowell have joined us in urging Prime Minister David Cameron to create a fitting memory of the team’s inspirational win in the Queen’s birthday honours list, which will be published in two weeks.
