1969 -- Yes Sir, No Sir?: Sir John Lennon sent his MBE back to the Queen along with the eloquent message:

"Your Majesty, I am returning this MBE in protest against Britain's involvement in the Nigeria-Biafra thing, against our support of America in Vietnam, & against "Cold Turkey" slipping down the charts."

- With love, John Lennon of Bag.
