Seven-time Formula One title winner Lewis Hamilton has been given a knighthood in the New Year honours list.
The 35-year-old had previously been overlooked - reportedly due to his tax affairs and his move to Monaco in 2010.
But in November, Motorsport UK and the All Party Parliamentary Group for Formula One wrote to the prime minister saying it would be "totally wrong" to deny the champion a knighthood because his "tax status has been misunderstood".
Others included in the New Year's honours list include:
MBEs:
- Singer and DJ Craig David
- Coronation Street actress Sally Dynevor
- Retired footballers Jimmy Greaves and Ron Flowers
OBEs:
- Former EastEnders actress Nina Wadia
- Screenwriter and Line of Duty producer Jed Mercurio
- Actor Toby Jones
CBEs:
- Academy Award nominee and actress Lesley Manville
Knighthood:
- Two-time Oscar-winning cinematographer Roger Deakins
- Former attorney general Geoffrey Cox QC
Damehood:
- Make-up artist Pat McGrath
- Angela Eagle, long-time MP for Wallasey in Merseyside
- Actress Sheila Hancock
Hamilton, 35, has been in the news recently after saying his success over the last year had been inspired by the Black Lives Matter movement.
He took the knee on the grid and wore anti-racism slogans during the motorsports season.
The honours system has been criticised as being too closely-linked to the UK's colonial past, with titles linked to the Order of the British Empire.
In 2019, George The Poet revealed he had turned down an MBE because of the "pure evil" of the British Empire and "the colonial trauma inflicted on the children of Africa".
A similar sentiment was expressed by poet Benjamin Zephaniah, who turned down an OBE in 2003, saying he was "profoundly anti-empire".
Director Ken Loach refused an OBE in 1977, saying the British Empire "is a monument of exploitation and conquest" and Liverpool's first black footballer Howard Gayle turned down an MBE in 2016 saying his ancestors "would be turning in their graves after how empire and colonialism had enslaved them".
But the head of the Honours Secretariat at the Cabinet Office has said that, despite efforts to make the list more inclusive, the 'empire' reference will remain.
Helen Ewen said: "There are no plans currently to make changes in this area - you've seen today that we've again seen a growth in the number of individuals in black and ethnic minority communities on this list, which we strongly welcome."
This year's list is the most diverse to date, with 14.2% of those honoured coming from black or minority ethnic backgrounds, while 6.9% have a disability and 4% identify as LGBTQ.
