 Notable "refuseniks" include Jonathon Porritt, lately of Friends of the Earth, and journalist Ferdinand Mount.As no official provision exists for (unilaterally) renouncing an honour, any such act is always unofficial, and the record of the appointment in the "London Gazette" stands.Nevertheless, the physical insignia can be returned to the Central Chancery of the Orders of Knighthood — though even this act is purely symbolic, as replacement insignia may be purchased for a nominal sum.
