England star Lucy Bronze, who rose to fame following the Lionesses victory in the Euros this year, has been made an MBE for her services to football.
Bronze, 31, who spent five seasons at Manchester City and joined Barcelona this year, said: To be recognised for everything I’ve done throughout my career was a little bit surreal.
“It’s just something so different to football and something harder to compute.
“An MBE is obviously a huge honour and very special. The first person I told was my grandma.
“My grandma probably doesn’t understand many of the awards I’ve won in football but she adored the Queen, so I thought this MBE) is going to be her special thing”
Countless NHS heroes have been honoured, for their wide ranging efforts from disability support to end of life care.
They include Professor Robina Shahnaz Shah MBE DL JP, from Stockport, was awarded a DBE Dame Commander of the Order of the British Empire) for services to patient care.
