The Queen's Birthday Honour's List recognises the incredible achievements of extraordinary people across the UK.

Keith Palmer, the policeman killed after confronting the Westminster attacker outside Parliament, and Bernard Kenny, the heroic passer-by stabbed trying to protect MP Jo Cox, have been awarded medals for their bravery.

Those honoured from the world of entertainment include chart-topper Ed Sheeran and comedian comedian Billy Connolly, with the committee describing the list as "the most diverse yet".

And Oscar-winner Olivia de Havilland, who turns 101 next month, is the oldest woman to become a dame in the celebration.

In a break with tradition, the Queen's Civilian Gallantry List has been released at the same time as the monarch's birthday honours.

There is a total of 1,109 people on the Honours list, of whom 438 are awarded an MBE, 221 an OBE and 303 a BEM.

Here is the full list of those handed awards for services to their country.

Dame Stephanie "Steve" Shirley is the most successful tech entrepreneur you never heard of. After arriving in Britain as a Kindertransport child refugee in 1939, she went on to found a pioneering all-woman software company. The company, F International, was ultimately valued at $3 billion, making millionaires of 70 of her team members. She now uses the proceeds from the sale of the company for philanthropy.
