Coronation Street actors Anthony Cotton and Helen Worth have been awarded MBEs in the Queen's Birthday Honours List.
Anthony, who plays Sean Tully in the ITV soap, has been recognised for services to British Army, personnel and veterans.
The 46-year old has said that he is "completely overwhelmed" by the honour. He has been involved with the military community since 2008 and was named as the first celebrity ambassador for military charity the Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen and Families Association (SSAFA).
