The honours list also recognises people who have campaigned against domestic violence and sexual abuse.

Among them are Julie Devey and Carole Gould, who are co-founders of Killed Women, a group for people whose female relatives have been killed by men. They become OBEs.

Nicholas Gazzard, founder of the Hollie Gazzard Trust, which supports people experiencing domestic abuse, is also appointed an OBE.

He set up the charity in memory of his daughter after she was murdered in 2014 by her ex-boyfriend.

“We didn’t want her to be another statistic and our aim was to use her story to help others avoid what she went through,” he said.

“I’m sure she’s looking down on us with that huge smile, and proud about what is being achieved in her name.”

Soma Sara, founder of Everyone’s Invited, an anti-rape charity, is appointed a MBE.

The oldest person on the list is 103-year-old Colin Bell. He flew Mosquito combat aircraft in World War Two and he is awarded a Medal of the Order of the British Empire for his charity work.

The medal is also given to one of the two youngest people on the list, Mikayla Beames, who is recognised for her fundraising efforts supporting children with cancer.

She is 18, as is para-swimmer William Ellard who becomes a MBE after winning gold in the S14 200m freestyle at the Paralympics.
