The title "Sir" is used to address a man who has been awarded a knighthood. Meanwhile, "Dame" is a peerage for women.

In addition to the MBE, as received by Adele and Ed Sheeran, there is also the CBE, which is a title given to individuals who have made a positive contribution in their field of work.

These titles are given because the person concerned has made a major contribution to any activity, usually at a national level.

In addition, other people who work in the same field as the candidate for the title must also see them as people who have made significant contributions with long-term commitments. (*)
