Famous faces from the Lionesses to Brian May and Grayson Perry honoured in King Charles' first New Year's Honours list

A bevy of famous faces from the worlds of sport, arts and culture, and politics are among those to be given gongs in King Charles III's first New Year's Honours list.

Queen guitarist - and astrophysicist - Brian May becomes a knight, while leading artist Grayson Perry has also been given the same honour. Four of the Lionesses from the England football team which won Euro 2021 have also been recognised - as have actors Stephen Graham and David Harewood.

Legendary Olympic heptathlete Denise Lewis has also been made a dame, while actress and animal rights campaigner Virginia McKenna, 91, is among the oldest to have been honoured, also becoming a dame.
