Meanwhile, forensic anthropology pioneer Professor Lucina Hackman becomes a Dame for revolutionising UK mass fatality investigations. Also honoured: medical scientist Sir Andrew Morris, rugby star Ian Robertson, and dozens more from charities and community groups — a powerful salute to everyday heroes making real change across sport, science, media, and beyond.
