We received a petition asking:
"We the undersigned petition the Prime Minister to recommend a Damehood for Petula Clark - which is long overdue."
Details of Petition:
"Apart from her long, successful singing and acting career Petula is an Ambassadress for Britain and has supported many organisations such as UNICEF."
Read the Government’s response
Thank you for your e-petition.
Petula Clark’s achievements in music are well known and respected. It is easy to see why so many people want to see her record formally recognised. This is underlined by the fact over a thousand people have signed the e-petition on the No 10 website calling for her to be made a Dame. Your support has been carefully noted.
Members of the public can nominate individuals for honours by visiting the UK Honours System website: http://www.honours.gov.uk.
