Kate Bush has received her CBE for services to music
from the Queen at an investiture ceremony at Windsor Castle.
The reclusive Wuthering Heights singer made a rare public appearance on Wednesday to accept the accolade from the British monarch at Windsor Castle in Berkshire. After she was presented with the award, Bush dedicated it to her family.
"I feel incredibly thrilled to receive this honour which I share with my family, friends and fellow musicians and everyone who has been such an important part of it all. Now I've got something really special to put on top of the Christmas tree."
Bush, whose other hits include Running Up That Hill and Babooshka, has won both Brit and Ivor Novello awards. She has also recorded with some of the most prominent names in music, including Sir Elton John, Eric Clapton, and Prince.
CBE is Commander of the British Empire. (Commander, CBE. Officer, OBE. Member, MBE)
Wow, that's a really high one! Well-deserved. Who are some other female musicians who have gotten the accolades? I know Kylie and Sade have the OBE, but are there any more or is this another Trinity?

She really deserved it!
