I am delighted to see that Sir Terry has now, officially, been deemed Guilty As Charged.
(I think this is only the second knighthood to an sf author specifically for services to literature, the first having been to the late Sir Arthur C Clarke. Other people have been knighted after having written sf - Sir Patrick Moore comes to mind - but this has been for their activities in other fields.)
