Adventurer David Hempleman-Adams is made a Knight Commander of the Victorian Order, as a personal gift from the Queen, in recognition of his services to the Duke of Edinburgh's Award scheme.

Prime Minister Theresa May has drafted new priorities for future Honours lists to focus on those who work with children and young people, who encourage social mobility or fight discrimination, or who work in enterprise and business.

Each person who is awarded an honour will have their own personal and permanent record, containing all the details of their award. Commemorate an award with a personalised edition of The Gazette. Visit The Gazette shop for more information.
