The Queens Birthday Honours recipients have been published, with 119 individuals from Northern Ireland listed as being awarded an honour for 2020.

The most notable recipient for his part in the COVID-19 response is Captain Sir Tom Moore (100) who wanted to raise £1,000 for the NHS by his 100th birthday BUT in the 24-day period which saw the war veteran walk around his garden – he surpassed his goal and raised over £30m – with the eventual total reaching £32.7m
Captain Sir Tom Moore has already received his knighthood in a special ceremony at Winsor Palace on July 17, invested by the Queen.
