King Charles has announced his first Official Birthday Honours List today marking the incredible public service of individuals from across the UK in the year of the Coronation.
Across the country more than 1,000 recipients have been awarded for their outstanding contributions. This year 12 people from Leeds have made the cut and will be made members of the Order of the British Empire or be awarded medals from King Charles III as part of the first list of his reign.
Individuals have been recognised for being inspiring entrepreneurs, innovators and philanthropists. Other significant contributions relate to the provision of high-quality healthcare and education, as well as individuals whose actions have helped tackle crime or supported families to contribute to society, including helping children achieve their potential.
