Carey Mulligan, Stephen Fry, and Kazuo Ishiguro are among the over 1,200 individuals recognized in the UK's annual New Year Honours list for their contributions to arts, sports, politics, and community service. The awards, bestowed by King Charles III, honor individuals who have made significant contributions to society.
Actors Carey Mulligan and Stephen Fry , along with author Kazuo Ishiguro , have received awards in the United Kingdom's annual New Year Honours list. Over 1,200 people have been recognised in the latest round for significant contributions in arts, sports, politics, and community service. The honours are bestowed by the King as part of historical orders of chivalry based on recommendations from the prime minister and senior government ministers.
Ishiguro, Nobel laureate and author of The Remains of the Day was named a Companion of Honour for his contributions to literature. The author, who was previously knighted, continues to be celebrated for his literary achievements. Khan, the son of a bus driver and a former MP who became London's mayor for three terms, said he was "truly humbled" by his knighthood, despite recent criticism from some motorists over his policies, such as taxing higher-polluting vehicles.
