The 2020 Queen’s Birthday Honours list has been revealed - and a host of Essex residents have been recognised. 

Every year the list gives out CBEs, MBEs, OBEs and knighthoods to people whose achievements help the country.

It usually is revealed in June, but was delayed due to the coronavirus pandemic.

This year, England footballer Marcus Rashford, 'the nation's PE teacher' Joe Wicks and Sir David Attenborough have received honours.

This year a host of Covid-19 heroes have been honoured.
