Former prime minister Theresa May has said the knighthood awarded to her husband Sir Philip May is recognition of the work of all partners of Members of Parliament.Sir Philip, 64, was dubbed a knight for political service which he called “a pleasant surprise”.He added: “I’m very proud and very honoured, I’m just sorry neither of my parents are alive to see it.

I’m delighted really and it all came as something of a surprise but a pleasant one nevertheless.“I left the politics very firmly to my wife - I always tried to help in the political campaigning and on the doorsteps.”Mrs May said: “I’m so pleased for Philip but I’m also pleased because it’s recognition of the huge support and effort the other halves of all MPs put in.“It’s unrecognised.
