A correspondent suggests the creation of a new honour, after the confirmation by Mark Byford that he's "leading" on coverage of the Royal Wedding before his departure from the BBC - the cherry on the top of a cake/life devoted to public service broadcasting.
He'll want to do better than his former No 2 at World Service, Nigel Chapman, who was made Knight Commander of the Royal Victorian Order as he left. He'll want to do better than Jenny Abramsky, made Dame Commander of the Order of the British Empire in 2009.
2011 is surely the year for the creation of the Order of Gold Commanders, and its first honoree (as the Americans say).
Another American alternative would be for the BBC to "retire the shirt" as Mark quits, and create a new title for those who sit at the heart of crisis management. Any suggestions ?
