LONDON — British film stars Emma Thompson, Keira Knightley and Tom Hardy and Nobel Prize-winning author Kazio Ishiguro are among those receiving honors in the name of Britain’s monarch. The list published late Friday by Britain’s Cabinet Office includes many receiving honors for merit, service and bravery. The 59-year-old Thompson will become Dame Emma, a high honor that is the female equivalent of becoming a knight. Hardy, star of “Inception” and other movies, received a CBE award, designating him a “commander” of the empire, a still higher designation. The list also honors the queen’s eye surgeon, Jonathan Jagger, who was made a commander of the Royal Victorian Order.
