Britain recognised the scientists and medical chiefs at the forefront of the battle against COVID-19 in Queen Elizabeth’s annual New Year’s honours list, while James Bond actor Daniel Craig was given the same award as his famous onscreen character.

Craig, who bowed out from playing the fictional British spy after five outings following the release of “No Time to Die” this year, was made a Companion in The Order of St Michael and St George in recognition of his outstanding contribution to film.

The chief medical officers for England, Scotland and Wales – Chris Whitty, Gregor Smith and Frank Atherton – were given knighthoods. There were also honours for the deputy medical officers for England, with Jonathan Van-Tam knighted and Jenny Harries made a dame. Cyclist Jason Kenny, who achieved his seventh gold medal at the Tokyo Olympic Games, more than any other Briton has won, was also knighted.

Emma Raducanu, who stunned the tennis world by becoming the first qualifier to win a Grand Slam title with victory in the US Open, was another sporting figure to be honoured with an MBE.

The honourslist is a joke and it, and the RoyalFamily should be done away with. CamillaParkerBowles rewarded - rewarded for what RoyalFamily? Adultery? And how many of ClarenceHouse Charles’s “friends” have received honours?

One of the best things I love about investing with TarellaCampbel is that you only see positive results and see good winnings at all times from the team. With hardwork, passion and clarity as we know it.
