Kate Winslet and Gary Barlow receive royal honours
Kate Winslet and Gary Barlow receive royal honours



Actress Kate Winslet has been made a CBE (Commander of the Order of the British Empire - капитан Ордена Британской Империи) for services to drama by The Queen at Buckingham Palace.
The Reading-born star said it was "a completely different kind of honour" to her 2009 Oscar for The Reader.
Singer Gary Barlow, who masterminded (руководить) The Queen's Diamond Jubilee concert in June, was made an OBE for services to the entertainment industry and charity. Violinist and Classical Brit winner Tasmin Little was made an OBE for services to music (за достижения в области музыки).
Earlier this year she performed a duet with cartoon character Gromit as part of the BBC children's prom at the Royal Albert Hall.
Reading-born actress Winslet, who shot to worldwide fame in 1997 blockbuster Titanic, said there was "something incomparably (несравненно) overwhelming (ошеломляющее)" about the day.
"The sense of gravity (важность) is enormous and you very much feel you are being acknowledged (признать) by the whole country in a way," she said.
Winslet revealed (призналась) that she had discussed motherhood with The Queen as she collected her honour, after the Queen asked how much she enjoyed acting.
"I said yes, I liked it, but not as much as being a mother. She said, 'It is the best job'," the actress told reporters.
Winslet, 37, has a 12-year old daughter, Mia, with first husband Jim Threapleton and a son, Joe, with her second husband, Skyfall director Sam Mendes.
Take That star Barlow featured (представленный, включенный в) on the Queen's Birthday Honours list just days after the Jubilee single Sing, which he penned (сочинить) with Andrew Lloyd Webber, topped the UK singles chart (список популярных песен).
He also organised the Jubilee celebration concert at Buckingham Palace, which featured stars such as Sir Paul McCartney, Kylie Minogue and Stevie Wonder.
In a statement, the 41-year-old said he had been surprised to be awarded the OBE (the Order of the British Empire - Орден Британской Империи) and that it "hadn't seemed real until today".

Questions:
1) Who is Kate Winslet?
2) What did she say about this honour?
3) Who is Gary Barlow?
4) How old is Winslet?
5) What's the name of Winslet's daughter?

I like this article. It can not be denied that receiving royal honours is the most important event for actors and musicians. It means a lot for them. Everyone who received this honour deserve it.

Kate Winslet is my favorite actress! I can't imagine any person who would play her roles as brilliantly as she was. Of course, my favourite films with her are "Titanic" and "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind". Can you imagine someone else in those roles on her place? smile
