A host of people from across the north-east have been included in the New Year’s Honours list.
They join people from across the UK who have been recognised for their work during the pandemic, as well as celebrities and sports stars.
From work encouraging people in ethnic minority groups to get the Covid vaccine to services to dementia services, these inspiring people from across Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire have put their communities at the heart of their efforts.
