REGARDING the letter “Does Dannii really deserve this honour?” (November 16), yes, Ms Dannii Minogue deserves her honorary university doctorate.

There are still some silent heroes of talents and skills who haven’t been recognised for their achievements.

Look at Sir Bruce Forsyth, who was just recently honoured and yet has been with us for so long.

Yes, Dannii deserves it by singing, dancing, writing etc.

Others already earned their rewards by being noticed in the media.

Please give others a chance, the silent heroes of skills and talent at this time.

MRS C HAMMOND, Weston, Southampton.
