The scientists and the leading doctors who are at the forefront of the fight against the pandemic were honored by Great Britain in the annual list of Queen Elizabeth’s awards, while the same happened to the actor Daniel Craig, who became known to the general public as the last James Bond.
Craig, who left the role of British spy after five films, after the release of “No Time to Die” this year, became a “Member of the Order of St. Michael and St. George (CMG)” in recognition of the outstanding his contribution to cinema.
James Bond also had the same distinction, which means that Daniel Craig now has all the titles brought by the hero he embodied. It should be noted that Craig has been an honorary commander in the Royal Navy since last September.
Major distinctions were also awarded to high-ranking health officials to fight the coronavirus pandemic. The heads of health services in England, Scotland and Wales – Chris Whitey, Gregor Smith and Frank Atherton – have been knighted. The same title was also given to the Deputy Heads of Health Services of England, Jonathan Van-Tam and Jenny Harris (named Dame).

They still received honorary distinctions scientists who pioneered the production of vaccines against Covid-19, including Rod McKenzie (Pfizer), Sean Moret (BioNTech) and Melanie Ivarson (Moderna).
THE cyclist Jason Kenny, who won his seventh gold medal at the Tokyo Olympics more than any other Briton, was also knighted. A similar distinction, that of a dame, was awarded to his wife Laura, who is the most successful athlete in the country and the first to climb to the top of the podium in three consecutive Olympic Games.
Among the 78 Olympians and Paralympians included in this year’s list were Adam Pitty (swimming) and Tom Daly (diving), who became officers of the Order of the British Empire (OBE).
The tennis player Emma Radoukanou, who surprised everyone with her triumph at the US Open, was another athlete who was honored with the title of member of the Order of the British Empire (MBE).
Lyricist Bernie Topin, best known for his 1997 collaboration with Elton John on the 1997 rendition of “Candle in the Wind,” which he sang at the funeral of the undefeated Princess Diana, has been promoted to Commander of the Order of the British. Empire (CBE).
Actors Joanna Lumley and Vanessa Redgrave were honored for their contribution to 7th Art, as well as for their philanthropic work.
