The King’s first Official Birthday Honours List has been announced
, with more than 1,000 people awarded for their outstanding work as philanthropists, innovators and entrepreneurs.
The youngest recipient on the list is Junior Jay Frood who receives a BEM for services to vulnerable children. The 18-year-old, from Merseyside, who suffered with bullying from the age of six due to his love of dancing, created the #BoysCanDance anti-bullying social media campaign, backed by well-known figures including Diversity’s Ashley Banjo.
Suzanne Jacqueline Richards from Wednesbury, who lost her son, brother and father in the 2015 Tunisia terrorist attacks, has received an MBE after setting up a charity for families who have lost loved ones in traumatic circumstances such as murder and terrorism. The 54-year-old set up Smile for Joel after Charles ‘Patrick’ Evans, 78, Adrian Evans, 49, and Joel Richards, 19, were killed in the incident.
As an envoy for the Church of England, Sir Terry travelled to Beirut to try to secure the release of four hostages but was kidnapped and held captive from 1987 to 1991. He said he was kept in solitary confinement and, when anybody came into the room, he had to put a blindfold over his eyes. He also faced a mock execution and was beaten.
Meanwhile, Bristol’s Razvan Constantinescu will receive an MBE after overseeing more than 4,000 boxes of aid for the people of war-torn Odessa and the neighbouring villages who have evacuated to neighbouring countries. Dr Hutton had to have both her hands and legs below the knee amputated after battling sepsis. She set up the charity Finding Your Feet, based in Paisley, in 2014 to raise awareness of the issues she had faced. In 2019, she became the first person in Scotland to receive a double hand transplant, and in the same year she was named Scotswoman of the Year.
