"The first class honour has been typically conferred to female royalty. As originally conceived, the order consisted of eight classes. Unlike its European counterparts, the order may be conferred posthumously."

you can even receive it, if you're dead? now that's really confused me...so some people don't have to do anything at all, to receive it? "organ donation" replies MI5 ONLINE....is that a suggestion or is that what you were to find out? "we found that out"...which organ then? "it depends - whatever they want"...but you can't do without most of your organs - apart from donating a kidney, I suppose...wait a minute - is organ donation what it is all about - whether you are alive or dead?..."we're not sure, yet"...go figure.
