The president of a music outreach charity, the chairman of prestigious family theatrical costumier business and a charity worker who helped resettle Syrian refugees are among those recognised in this year's Queen's Birthday Honours.

Sir Ian Stoutzker, president of music outreach charity Live Music Now who was made an OBE in 1993, is knighted for services to music and philanthropy.

Sir Ian, son of Aron Stoutzker who was a cantor at the Central United Synagogue, has been involved with the charity since its foundation in 1977. It has conducted 80,000 workshops in settings such as care homes and special schools and claims to have reached more than 2.8 million people. 

Tim Angel, the chairman of Angel theatrical costumiers that was founded by his great-great-great grandfather Morris Angel in 1840 and has robed everyone from rabbis to Obi-Wan Kenobi, is made a CBE for services to theatre, film, television and the arts.
