Tony Hudgell, 9 years old, a double amputee from West Malling, Kent, has been awarded the British Empire Medal (BEM). He lost both legs due to injuries inflicted by his birth parents, who were jailed for 10 years in 2018. He went on to co-found the Tony Hudgell Foundation and helped raise more than £1.7m for charity in the pandemic.
This is the song I always associate with Shirley Bassey. I think it was a smash hit for her. There's some fun stuff at the beginning. The song begins around the 1:20 Mark.

Thank you. I seem to have the same problem every time. I'd look for it on the government site and not find it. I guess, because it's in the monarch's gift, it wouldn't be on the gov't site.
So no major order of chivalry appointments...
Whoever wrote the Wiki article actually used "their Majesty's" instead of "their Majesties." Yikes!
