London Mayor Sadiq Khan, Paris Olympics gold medallist Keely Hodgkinson and former England soccer boss Gareth Southgate were among the hundreds named in King Charles\u2019s New Year honours list published on Monday.<\/p>\n
The full list includes more than 1,200 people in politics, sport, the arts or community service to be awarded honours ranging from Member, Commander or Officer of the Order of the British Empire (MBE, CBE or OBE) up to knighthoods and damehoods.<\/p>\n
Sadiq, one of Britain\u2019s most high-profile Asian-origin politicians, was honoured for political and public service.<\/p>\n
A member of Britain\u2019s governing Labour Party, Sadiq was this year elected mayor for the third time, although he has faced criticism for crime levels and a housing crisis in the city.<\/p>\n
The London mayor joined UK television icon and writer Fry, 67, and former England football manager Gareth Southgate in being knighted in the latest list.<\/p>\n
Fry, best known for playing his idol Oscar Wilde in the 1997 movie Wilde and hit British television comedy Blackadder was recognised for services to mental health awareness, the environment and charity.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
