Stuart Hall to be stripped of OBE after conviction for sex offences

Former BBC broadcaster Stuart Hall is to be stripped of his OBE after he was jailed for a series of sexual assaults on young girls.

In June, Hall, 83, admitted 14 counts against girls aged from nine to 17 between 1967 and 1985.

His 15-month sentence was doubled by the Court of Appeal in July.

Hall was initially arrested in December 2012 and made a statement labelling the claims "pernicious, callous, cruel and above all spurious".

How do they go about getting the award back? What if someone doesn't want to give it back?

Someone may be calling on Rolf Harris very shorty asking for the return of his CBE.
