Demented, she got the OBE for services to tennis, women in sport and charity, not because her sons are good at tennis.

She is not using her moment in the limelight for herself, she is using it to advance the profile of british tennis and get more people playing.

dementedma my point about parental sacrifice was made in response to yours saying that all she did was "give birth to her dc".

She is definitely not milking it for her own glory - she is promoting British tennis - which let's face it, needs a lot of promotion and support atm.

My family member found her to be very unassuming - said she was great with the children in her coaching group and gave up her time voluntarily for them - on several occasions.

Luna - sorry I worried you.
When I was about 19 my DM who was a strict Catholic - told me he was rude, vulgar etc. The one night when I came in I caught her watching him, she was in hysterics Grin

He's been making me laugh since I was a young child. I'm 48 now. A well deserved honour!

I met Judy Murray recently - she was absolutely lovely. And very pretty.
