Community workers and philanthropists got their share of royal recognition in the birthday honours.

Businessman Maurice Ostro was appointed an OBE for services to business, charity and interfaith relations."To be recognised for what I love doing is truly humbling," he said.

Barry Welck, chairman of the Langdon Foundation, was made an MBE for services to education and learning for disabled people.

"I got involved in the charity because of my son, Daniel, who has learning disabilities. I had no idea it would turn into this. It's been a pleasure and a delight and this is the icing on the cake."
