The list of those awarded MBEs (Member of the Order of the British Empire) and BEMs (British Empire Medal) was made public late yesterday. As well as some famous names from TV and sport stardom, the King has also honoured a number of local figureheads.
Today, the King celebrated his official birthday with the usual pomp and pageantry in a ceremony known as Trooping the Colours. King Charles will make two Honours Lists - one on his official birthday and one at the start of the new year, following his mother's tradition.
