St George's Day passed without the announcement of new Knights of the Garter. The country's highest and oldest order of chivalry is at least three short of its usual complement of twenty-four - but perhaps the Queen's political acumen came into play, during this General Election campaign.
Two former Prime Ministers, Blair and Brown, remain available for selection. Some thought a place might be found for former Tory party and BBC chairman Lord Patten. Maybe something will happen post-May 7 - still in time for the traditional dressing-up-in-Windsor shindig, in June. We might have also added to the list of former Prime Ministers.
