"You are the America that we love," Nicolas Sarkozy informed her at the presentation. "Women like you do a lot to bring our two peoples together."

"I am deeply honoured to be joining the playwrights, heads of state, artists and leaders who have accepted this honour before me," she said, thus highlighting the absurdity of her inclusion having taken so long.
"I leave with a sense of inspiration and responsibility as an artist to always reflect the truth and as a citizen to try and create a world of justice, compassion, equality and peace."
Want more? Tickets for Barbara's Manchester show next month are priced at up to £825. So choke on it.
