From the oldest, aged 104, to the youngest, 11-year-old twins, the majority of honours are awarded to ordinary individuals who have undertaken extraordinary acts for their communities.
Dance teacher Angela Redgrave, 104, of the Bristol School for Dancing, who taught for 70 years, receives a BEM. Twins Elena and Ruben Evans-Guillen, from Warrington, Cheshire, are the youngest ever recipients and receive BEMs after raising £50,000 for the NHS over the past three years.
