The former Liverpool footballer, Alan Hansen and DJ Steve Lamacq, are among those who will be honored in an investiture ceremony in Windsor Castle.

Hansen, the former defender of Scotland and for a long time the expert of the day, will be formally a member of the Order of the British Empire (MBE) for football services and transmission on Tuesday. He joined the Liverpool of Partk Thistle in 1977 and won three European cups, eight league titles, two cups of FA and three cups of league in 620 appearances for the ANFIELD side. Hansen, 69, was discharged from the hospital last June after Liverpool said he was “seriously ill.”

The radio presenter and DJ Steve Lamacq, who organizes a Monday afternoon program in BBC Radio 6 Music, a MBE will formally be made on Tuesday for services to transmission and music. After being named in the New Year Honors list, Lamacq, 60, said: “This was an incredible shock.

“Obviously, it is always good for your work to be recognized, especially after having registered 31 years on the radio. But I am especially happy with the mention of the music places as well, because the live concerts and the people who put them on them have been a large part of my life along with my transmission career.”

The DJ, known for defending new artists and independent music, began as a local journalist before joining NME at the end of the 1980s, where he saw concerts, discovered new musical artists and reported on Britpop’s flourishing scene. The DJ, which is also referred to often by its nickname Lammo, has organized a series of awards ceremonies and gained praise, including special recognition gongs in the AIM Independent Music Awards and the Sony Radio Academy Awards, both in 2013.

The two -time Olympic Rower Champion, Helen Glover, will become an OBE at the Windsor Castle ceremony. In the 2012 Olympic Games, in association with Heather Stanning, Glover won the gold medal in couples without female Coxless, which was the inaugural gold medal won by the GB team.

Glover, 38, was convinced of the Paris Olympic Games after giving birth to twins in January 2020. After learning of the honor, Glover said: “I was determined that this Olympic trip would lead to win a medal against three children and felt supported by the community of the children.

Honors are also received from the Andrea Dobson Rugby League, Paralympic goalkeeper Jodie Grinham and Paralympic cyclist Elizabeth Jordan, who will become MBES. Grinham became the first openly pregnant Paralympic medalist thanks to the individual bronze medals and the gold team in the Paris Olympic Games in 2024. He previously won the Silver team with John Stubbs in his debut in the Games in Rio 2016.
