The full list of Northern Ireland recipients of King's Birthday Honours

Scores of people from Northern Ireland have been recognised in the King’s Birthday Honours list.

People involved in health, education, politics, law enforcement, sport and the arts are just some of those nominated.

Among those set to receive an accolade is organ donation campaigner Máirtín Mac Gabhann and Women’s Coalition founder Bronagh Hinds and Detective Chief Inspector John Caldwell of the PSNI, who was shot on 22 February last year while coaching a youth football team at the Omagh Youth Sport Complex.

Mr Mac Gabhann, whose son Dáithí inspired a change in organ donation rules in Northern Ireland, is becoming a Member of the Order of the British Empire (MBE).

Ms Hinds, who helped to found the Women’s Coalition political party in 1996, is to become a Commander of the Order of the British Empire (CBE).
