The Queen's Birthday Honours List has been published, recognising the achievements and services of people across the UK.

Among the Welsh people honoured in the list is former Wales and British Lion star Shane Williams.

The 35 year-old from Ammanford has been awarded an MBE for his services to rugby.

Steve Khaireh, from Grangetown in Cardiff, has also been recognised for services to Young People in Cardiff.

Although Steve is modest about receiving the award, those around him say there is nobody more deserving.

The Secretary of State for Wales, Cheryl Gillan has espressed her congratulations to the Welsh people honoured in this year's Queen's Birthday Honours List.
