Queen's Birthday Honours 2022: All the Leeds and Wakefield recipients including those getting knighthoods

Whether they live or work in the area, each has made an outstanding contribution - whether it be in healthcare, education, public service, charity or the arts.

Others are being recognised for their campaigning work or the difference that they make to the lives of so many others through volunteering in the community.

And in the world of sport, former Leeds United footballer and commentator Rio Ferdinand receives an OBE for his activism and charity work, while former Whites midfielder James Milner receives an MBE for the great work his foundation undertakes.
