At just nine years of age, Tony Hudgell is the youngest. He is being awarded a British Empire Medal for services to the prevention of child abuse.

He has raised over £1.8million for the hospital that saved his life after he suffered horrific abuse as a baby in West Malling, Kent.


Along with his adoptive mother, he founded the Tony Hudgell Foundation in 2021 to support and help vulnerable children, and has also inspired an English law change to increase prison sentences for those convicted of child cruelty and neglect.

Tony, who raises money walking vast distances on prosthetics after his legs were amputated in infancy following his abuse, has struck up a special relationship with the Princess of Wales.

New Year Honours 2024:





King Charles III's New Years Honours list for 2024 has been announced, with individuals recognised for their service to the arts, public health, politics, education, diplomacy, charity and more.



Glastonbury Festival founder Michael Eavis and best-selling writer Jilly Cooper are among those recognised in the 2024 New Year Honours list.

Actress Emilia Clarke is named MBE alongside England goalkeeper Mary Earps, while captain Millie Bright and singer Leona Lewis become OBEs.

Ex-rugby league players Rob Burrow and Kevin Sinfield become CBEs for raising awareness of motor neurone disease.

Founder of pub chain JD Wetherspoon, Tim Martin, receives a knighthood.

Eavis also receives a knighthood and becomes Sir Michael, while Cooper, now Dame Jilly, is given a damehood in the honours list - which recognises the achievements of hundreds of people across the UK.

Kevin Sinfield has raised more than £15m since Rob Burrow, his friend and former Leeds Rhinos teammate, was diagnosed with MND in December 2019, aged 37.


Sinfield, who completed a seven-day ultra-marathon challenge earlier in December, says receiving the honour is "really special", but attention should be focussed on Burrow's courage in fighting the incurable and life-limiting condition.

"To open the front door and show the world what it's like to live with it has been incredible from him," he says.


Sir Michael, 88, who founded the Glastonbury Festival on his Somerset farm in 1970, is awarded a knighthood for services to music and charity. Each festival contributes more than £2m to charity.

"We started with 500 people and we've finished up with millions wanting to come every year," he says. "That's quite extraordinary, isn't it?"


Novelist Dame Jilly is best known for her popular Rutshire Chronicles series, including titles such as Riders and Polo, which detail upper class adultery and scandal. Her novel Rivals is being adapted into a star-studded series for Disney+.

The 86-year-old, who is awarded a damehood for services to literature and charity, says: "I am absolutely and incredibly bowled over. I cannot believe I am a DBE, which in my case also stands for 'delighted, bewildered and ecstatic'."


Meanwhile, Archbishop of Canterbury Justin Welby is made a Knight Grand Cross of the Royal Victorian Order (RVO) for conducting King Charles' coronation service. This award is selected independently by the King.

Businessman Sir Tim Martin, 68, who is honoured for services to hospitality and culture, owns more than 800 pubs and hotels across the UK, employing more than 43,000 people.

He dedicated his award, which he says came "out of the blue", to his colleagues and customers. "In the pub world, it is a team effort - even if you've just got one pub, there are many people involved," he adds.

Game of Thrones' Emilia Clarke, who survived two brain haemorrhages, is made an MBE alongside her mother Jenny, for establishing a charity, called SameYou, which helps others who have had similar conditions.

She says the award is "wonderful awareness building for the cause".






Lionesses Millie Bright, Lauren Hemp and Mary Earp helped England finish as runners up to Spain at the World Cup...

In sport, three Lionesses are among those recognised. Captain Millie Bright is appointed an OBE, while striker Lauren Hemp and goalkeeper Mary Earps - also voted 2023 BBC Sports Personality of the Year - become MBEs after finishing as runners-up in the women's World Cup.





England fast bowler Stuart Broad, who retired after this year's Ashes, is named CBE. He played 167 Test matches for England and retired as the fifth highest Test wicket-taker of all time.


Many well-known figures in entertainment and the arts also feature on the list.

Author Kate Mosse, best known for her Languedoc Trilogy, says she considers her CBE as recognition of the importance of The Women's Prize for Fiction, which she co-founded.

Academy Award-winning lyricist Don Black, who has worked with artists including John Barry and Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber, says it is "wonderful" to become a CBE for doing something he loves.




DJs Steve Wright and Tony Blackburn have presented shows on BBC Radio 2 for decades

BBC Radio 2 DJ Steve Wright dedicated his MBE "to all the people in broadcasting who gave comfort and public service during the pandemic".

Fellow broadcaster Tony Blackburn says his OBE is "the icing on a very lovely cake" after almost 60 years in the "best job" on BBC and commercial radio stations.

Meanwhile, Dame Shirley Bassey, 86, who has sold 135 million records, says she is "truly humbled" to become the 64th living member of the Order of the Companion of Honour, which only has 65 members at one time.

Singer-songwriter Leona Lewis, 38, who shot to fame after winning X Factor in 2006, is named OBE for services to music and charity.




And film director and producer Sir Ridley Scott, whose works include Gladiator, Alien and Napoleon, is made a Knight Grand Cross, upgrading his knighthood. Sir Ridley Scott was previously made Knight Grand Cross for services to UK film industry
