  1. No I don't think so. She can award military awards posthumously but I think the whole point of getting a Knighthood is that you physically go there and she taps you on the shoulder with her sword etc.


  2. poss an honarary knighthood ?

  3. no, I don't think so.

    These days VCs (The highest award in the armed services) is nearly always postumous

  4. No, you need to be alive to be awarded a Knighthood or Damehood, however, certain medals can be and are awarded posthumously.
