Actor Idris Elba is set to receive a knighthood from the King on Tuesday, according to reports. The honours list also includes ice dancers Dame Jayne Torvill and Sir Christopher Dean, who are due to receive recognition at the same ceremony. All accounts focus on the scheduled presentation of honours by the King and name the individuals expected to be recognised. The reports identify Elba by his acting career, including his role in “Luther,” and place him in a wider group of figures across entertainment and sport who are receiving honours. The available information does not specify the particular reason for Elba’s knighthood beyond his public profile, nor does it detail the specific honours being awarded to any of the named individuals. However, it is consistent across sources that Elba will be knighted by the King on Tuesday and that Torvill and Dean are also among those receiving honours.
