A cultural charity has been honoured with the King's Award for Voluntary Service.
St Vincent and the Grenadines 2nd Generation (SV2G), based in High Wycombe, received the award, which is the highest a local voluntary group can receive and is equivalent to an MBE.
The charity, which runs the School of Steelpan and Wycombe Steel Orchestra, offers creative and heritage programmes for young people and the wider community.
The award was established in 2002 for the late Queen's Golden Jubilee and continues in the King's reign.
SV2G chairman Chris Roberts said: "We are so proud that our volunteers are getting the recognition they deserve, and thank them for their hard work and dedication to SV2G for the past 21 years."
