With the year drawing to an end, King Charles' New Years Honours list for 2025 has now been revealed. The King's third list since his coronation in 2023 recognises and rewards all those who have done good and made a difference in several areas this year.

More than 1,200 people from across the UK have received honours in the latest list, and have been awarded MBEs, OBEs, and CBEs. The oldest person on the list is 103-year-old, whilst the youngest recipients are both 18.
