What does one of the only black children on her estate in the Early life section mean? Can this be fixed? -- JBellis 12:10, 28 Mar 2005 (UTC)
Hi i think it would be a good idea to add a link that goes to Dame Kelly Holmes Official Website http://www.doublegold.co.uk Her website is full of interesting info on her own activities as a sports motivator in the UK + great photos of her athletic career and post athletic career + loads more features that can be appreciated by sports fans and the general public. I am not sure how to do this or if i can actually do this myself can someone help? thanks you —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Flooublegold ( talk • contribs) 11:52, 28 January 2007 (UTC).
It says that she became depressed, and that she meditated with an english lantern. She made one cut for every day....
Did she cut the lantern? It reads like the lantern is made of paper like a chinese lantern, and that she has cut it. Then it goes on to talk about her self harm. Seems like it needs a new paragraph to explain that the cuts she made were self harm? where did she make the cuts ? how many cuts did she make if she was making them daily? I feel these facts are equally important as the fact that she used scissors to make the cuts as i have just seen her on tv and she looks great with no cuts visible on her arms and legs? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Rabidnz ( talk • contribs)
It's DBE MBE (Mil.) Not just "DBE"; "DBE (promoted from MBE)" is even worse. The reason is that they are two separate division of the Order of the British Empire. You can, as Holmes has, be appointed to both divisions. She was originally appointed in the Military division because she was a soldier. I realise that this is one of the more obscure vagaries of the British honours system, but it's the sort of thing that people should leave alone. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.140.122.249 ( talk) 19:58, 7 August 2012 (UTC)
<quote> Persons appointed to the Order of Australia are entitled to the postnominal letters ‘AC’, ‘AO’, ‘AM’ or ‘OAM’ according to the level of the appointment. ‘(Mil)’ may be added to distinguish an appointment in the Military Division by those who also hold an appointment in General Division.</quote>

"Because I received my MBE under the name of Sergeant Holmes, it counts as a military award rather than a civilian one, so that when I was invested as a Dame I didn't have to give the honour up - something I was really pleased about"
