Clarification: 

On June 12, 2021, windsorobserver.co.uk published an article containing the names of a number of people who received an honour for the Queen’s birthday.

A mistake was made in this article and both Philip and Lynne Highy were listed as having received OBEs.

This was inaccurate as both Mr and Mrs Highy received British Empire Medals.

Although this article was soon corrected at the time of publication, we are happy to issue a further clarification.

We apologise to Mr and Mrs Highy for any confusion and upset this article may have caused.

THE Queen’s birthday honours have been revealed -- and ten people from Berkshire have received commendations (including a pair who played their part for the community during the pandemic!).

Celebrating individuals who have made “extraordinary efforts” in a range of industries and fields, the list recognises those who have “put others before themselves”.

Of those from the Royal county OBEs have been given to people for services in tackling the coronavirus pandemic, decarbonising air travel, supporting disabled people and more.

Philip and Lynne Highy both British Empire Medals for their services to the community in Eton and Eton Wick during the covid-19 pandemic.

Prime Minister Boris Johnson said: “The Queen’s Birthday Honours allow us to pay tribute to all those who have gone above and beyond in their service to this country.

“Throughout the pandemic we have seen countless examples of everyday heroes.

“From those using their expertise to help develop life-saving vaccines, which are now being rolled out successfully to all parts of the UK, to the people who have given time and energy to care for their communities.

“We should take heart from the stories of those receiving honours today and be inspired by their courage and kindness. May they be a reminder of all that we can achieve when we come together as a society.”
