The full list of those on the Queen's Birthday Honours List 2021

Figures from across the UK and the Commonwealth have been recognised as part of the Queen's birthday honours.

Roy Hodgson, Sue Barker and Kevin Sinfield are among the leading names from the world of sport to be recognised in the Queen’s Birthday Honours list.

Barker, best known as the lead presenter of the BBC’s Wimbledon tennis coverage, joins former England manager Hodgson in being awarded a CBE.

Sinfield, who was already an MBE, has now been awarded an OBE in recognition of his successful career on and off the pitch in rugby league but also in raising over £2million for research into motor neurone disease, a condition which has affected his friend and former Leeds Rhinos team-mate Rob Burrow.

Two Three Lions stars receive honour

Hodgson, 73, is one of four names on the list with connections to the England men’s football team.

Current Three Lions internationals Jordan Henderson and Raheem Sterling both receive MBEs. Liverpool captain Henderson, a Champions League and Premier League winner in the last two years, receives his for his sporting exploits but also in recognition of his part in forming a charitable fund, Players Together, which supported NHS good causes during the first coronavirus pandemic lockdown last spring.

Former England midfielder Geoff Thomas has also been made an MBE for his work in raising funds for cancer treatment and research through the Geoff Thomas Foundation, having been diagnosed with leukaemia himself in 2003.

Beyond sport TV presenter Prue Leith, musician Lulu and Conservative MP Andrea Leadsom have all been recognised.

Leith has been made a dame for her services to food, broadcasting and charity, while Lulu has been made a CBE for services to music, entertainment and charity.

Former minister Andrea Leadsom leads the political recipients by being made a dame.

A prominent Brexiteer, former business secretary Dame Andrea resigned as leader of the House of Commons in 2019 amid a backlash against Theresa May’s Brexit plan.
