Knight of the Sovereign Military Order of Sealand

A nice surprise in my inbox today - in recognition of including the disputed territory of Sealand in my list of sovereign states on my reading trip i have been made a Knight of the Sovereign Military Order of Sealand by Prince Regent Michael 😀 i'll send pics of actual deed when it arrives... Sealand is a micronation that claims Roughs Tower, an offshore platform in the North Sea approximately 12 kilometres off the coast of Suffolk, as its territory. Roughs Tower is a disused Sea Fort, built as an anti-aircraft gun platform by the British during World War II.

Since 1967, the decommissioned fort has been occupied by family and associates of ex-British Army Major Paddy Roy Bates, and later his son Michael, who claim that it is an independent sovereign state. It will form the penultimate stop on my travels.
