Queen’s Birthday Honours 2022: Full list of recipients in the Bristol area

Key health workers, professors, and most spectacularly, a dance teacher who joins the Queen in celebrating 70 years in public service, are among the Bristol people to be included in the Birthday Honours List 2022.

The Cabinet Office has published the full list of 1,134 recipients from across the UK tonight (1 June 2022), with 13 Bristolians making the cut.

Her Majesty The Queen’s Jubilee Birthday Honours List 2022 marks the incredible public service of individuals across the UK in celebration of Her Majesty’s unprecedented 70 years of service.

In tribute to The Queen, recipients have been awarded for their outstanding contributions across all sectors, but in particular for sustained public service, the environment and sustainability, and youth engagement.

Joining The Queen with 70 years of public service is Grace Angela Redgrave, founder and Principal of the Bristol School of Dancing, who receives a BEM for Services to Dance - and at 104 years old is the oldest person on the List.

The rest of the people from the Bristol region include Professor Sarah Purdy, Pro-Vice Chancellor at University of Bristol, and Aisha Thomas, Founder of Representation Matters.

They join high-profile names from across the country such as Rio Ferdinand, Gareth Bale and Damian Lewis, so it’s humbling to see so many less well-known Bristolian names on the List.

Prime Minister Boris Johnson said: “This historic Platinum Jubilee is not only a celebration of the monarch but of the qualities she possesses. The honours she confers this week reflect many of those qualities that have been invaluable from all different walks of life and to communities across the UK.

“I pay tribute to all of this year’s winners. Their stories of courage and compassion are an inspiration to us all.”
