Following the announcement of the 2014 Queen's Birthday Honours list, the Sport and Recreation Alliance has compiled a list of all our members and others within the wider sport and recreation sector who have been honoured.
We at the Alliance would like to congratulate and thank all those honoured for their fantastic service to the sector – and the sheer number of those on the list is testament to the great work that has been performed over the past year right across the sector.
