Microsoft creator to be knighted
The king of computer software Bill Gates is to receive an honorary knighthood from the Queen for his contribution to enterprise in the UK.
Mr Gates, the world's wealthiest man, is also being honoured for his work on poverty reduction around the world, said the Foreign Office.
As an American citizen he cannot use the title "Sir" but will be entitled to put the letters KBE after his name.
