At this season, the monarch traditionally bestows awards to mark his birthday, and just as expected, there’s an array of well-known personalities from cinema and television among the recipients.
Among the noteworthy figures on this list, it’s hard to ignore the legendary footballer, Sir David Beckham, yet he is by no means the sole notable recipient of this honor.
In recognition of his illustrious on-screen career, which includes an Academy Award for his portrayal of Winston Churchill in Darkest Hour, Sir Gary Oldman is now knighted.
As a dedicated admirer, I can’t help but express my appreciation for the acclaim that Oldman has been garnering lately, particularly for his spellbinding portrayal of Jackson Lamb in Apple TV+’s captivating series Slow Horses. I eagerly await the premiere of its fifth season, set for September!
Additionally, two celebrities from Strictly Come Dancing have received accolades. Notably, presenters Tess Daly and Claudia Winkelman were bestowed with the title of Members of the Order of the British Empire (MBE) in recognition of their contributions to broadcasting.
Without a hint of surprise, Winkelman expressed his gratitude, as reported by the BBC, saying, “I’m incredibly fortunate and plan to dance a Paso Doble in celebration with Tess.” Meanwhile, Daly shared that she shed tears upon reading her letter.
Additional recipients are Elaine Paige, a renowned actress, singer, and Evita star who was made a Dame; Georgia Harrison, known for her roles in Love Island and TOWIE, received an MBE for her contributions to online privacy and combating cybercrime; and The Who’s Roger Daltrey, recognized for his charitable work and music, has been knighted.
Today was a significant day for darts as well. The duo, Luke Littler and Luke Humphries, who represented England in the World Cup of Darts, were bestowed with MBEs, making them part of the list of sports figures honored alongside Beckham.
