The King's birthday honors list has been revealed, including Post Office hero Alan Bates, artist Tracey Emin and Gordon Brown.
Brown, who was prime minister between 2007 and 2010, has been made a Companion of Honour, the highest possible award, which is also held by Sir David Attenborough.
Alan Bates, who previously refused an OBE last year after Paul Vennells received his CBE, was awarded a Knighthood.
Others on the list included Imelda Staunton, Mark Cavendish, Simon Le Bon and Rebecca Ferguson.
The Trooping the Color parade will take place today (June 15) at Buckingham Palace.
