What do you think would happen? I think Brian and Roger would accept them. I think Freddie would have turned it down, but make sure it was officially announced that he had been offered one, and Deaky would decline without leaving his house or making it public knowledge.

Freddie was such a fanatical supporter of the monarchy, he wouldn't have DREAMED of turning it down.
Needless to say I feel he's wrong.
Brian and Deaky would accept, I think
Rog might accept, or he might decline. I think it would depend upon the mood he was in at the time. The latter seems more reasonable judging from Rog's usual behaviour.
These guys are a class act. They would not only show appropriate respect and accept the bestowal of Knighthood, but they would also feel honored. Brian in particular has always shown utmost respect to the queen, so wondering if he would accept is a bit of an insult to Brian, as it would be to the queen. imo.

Wikipedia:
"In the Queen's birthday honours list of 2005, he [Brian May] was made a Commander of the Order of the British Empire "for services to the music industry"."
So he's sort of Knighted already...
