COMMUNITY champions from all walks of life have once again been given royal recognition by being named in the Queen's Birthday honours.
Each year, the Queen awards titles of honour on deserving people from every corner of the country, in public recognition of their merit, service or bravery.
A number of local heroes in Bucks have been named in the lasted list of awards, and it comes as the country moves towards a four-day Bank Holiday weekend to celebrate Her Majesty's Platinum Jubilee.
