Knighthood for Tony Blair and Covid scientists
The medical chiefs leading the UK's battle against coronavirus have been recognised in the New Year Honours list while the Queen has knighted former prime minister Tony Blair.
The longest-serving Labour PM said it was an "immense honour" to have been made a Knight Companion of the Most Noble Order of the Garter, the oldest and most senior British Order of Chivalry, to which appointments are in the Queen's gift without advice from the Government.
England's chief medical officer (CMO), Professor Chris Whitty, deputy CMO, Jonathan Van-Tam, and Wales' and Scotland's CMOs, Frank Atherton and Dr Gregor Smith, have been given knighthoods.
There are also damehoods for UK Health Security Agency chief, Dr Jenny Harries, and Dr June Raine, chief executive of the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA), after a year in which the threat of new variants arose and more than 130 million vaccinations were administered.

Prince Andrew 'guilty by association' and needs urgent security review, says expert
A ROYAL protection expert has warned Prince Andrew's security needs an urgent review after his pal Ghislaine Maxwell's conviction.
Dai Davies, ex-head of protection for the Queen and Royal Family, said the verdict could lead to people becoming fixated on the duke.
He said the Christmas Day arrest of an armed intruder at Windsor Castle had heightened safety concerns over the royals.
He said: "Prince Andrew has not been convicted of anything — but the Maxwell verdict is a game-changer.
"That's because he is now guilty by association of being linked to two convicted paedophiles in her and Jeffrey Epstein.

Prince Andrew rocked by claims he could be stripped of his Duke of York
PRINCE Andrew was last night rocked by claims he could be stripped of his Duke of York title if he loses a lawsuit brought by sex abuse accuser Virginia Giuffre.
Royal courtiers were reported to have discussed plans to send him into "internal exile" — including stopping him using his title and other options, such as giving up all his charity links.
Ms Giuffre alleges that he sexually assaulted her three times when she was 17, which the Prince denies, and is suing for unspecified damages.
One source told The Sunday Times: "If he loses the case, the question is what do you do with him? You can't make him resign like you would a normal person but he would be asked to put his dukedom into abeyance."
They reported that royal insiders said it would be difficult to persuade the Queen to take away the title of Duke of York as "it was held by her father, George VI, before he became king and she bestowed it on her favourite son. But he has disgraced that title".

Pandemic fundraiser Tobias, 11, 'chuffed' to receive honour from Queen
Inspirational fundraiser Captain Tobias says he is "chuffed to bits" after finding out he is the youngest person on record to feature in the New Year Honours.
Tobias Weller was told just a month after his 11th birthday that he will be receiving the British Empire Medal (BEM) and now he cannot wait for a chance to meet the Queen at a royal garden party.
Tobias, who has cerebral palsy and autism, was nicknamed "Captain" after he was inspired by his hero Captain Sir Tom Moore to start raising money during the pandemic lockdowns.
He completed his third challenge in September and has so far raised more than £157,000 for Paces School, where he is a student, and The Children's Hospital Charity, in his home town of Sheffield, South Yorkshire.

Comedian Adam Hills can't believe Honour 'is not a prank'
Comedian Adam Hills said he did not tell his family he had been named in the New Year Honours list because he was "still not convinced someone isn't playing a prank on me".
The Australian TV presenter and comic, 51, has been made an MBE for services to Paralympic sport and disability awareness.
He has hosted Channel 4's The Last Leg with Josh Widdicombe and Alex Brooker since its inception in 2012.
Hills, who has a prosthetic foot, told the PA news agency: "I am absolutely chuffed to bits to be given this honour. I've already googled 'Australian comedians who have received honours', 'when can I start writing MBE after my name?' and 'are Australians even eligible for an MBE?'.
"Turns out the answers are 'Barry Humphries and Clive James', 'when you receive the medal' and 'yes'.
"Honestly though, for a boy from the southern suburbs of Sydney, this is quite a massive deal."

Virginia Roberts victim impact statement (continued…)
Andrew, 61, has always strongly denied all allegations made against him.
Victim impact statements are testimonies presented to the court which outline the impact of the offender's actions on the person and their life.
Sigrid McCawley, a lawyer for Virginia, told the Telegraph: "At the sentencing, I anticipate that there will be a lot of testimony from many, many other women who were not able to be heard at the trial, who will come forward and bring information about their suffering at the hands of Ghislaine Maxwell.
"I believe this will be considered by the court before Judge Nathan renders her decision on the length of time Ghislaine will serve behind bars."

Virginia Roberts 'set to give victim impact statement' at Ghislaine Maxwell's sentencing
PRINCE Andrew's sex assault accuser Virginia Roberts Giuffre is set to give a victim impact statement at Ghislaine Maxwell's sentencing, it is reported.
The duke now faces being drawn into the case after Maxwell was last week found guilty of sex trafficking and grooming girls for convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein to abuse.
A number of accusers did not give evidence at Maxwell's trial in New York, but the women will be given the opportunity to make a plea to Judge Alison Nathan, the Telegraph reports.
One of the women is said to be Virginia, 38, who claims she was forced to have sex with Prince Andrew three times when she was teenager - in London, New York and on Jeffrey Epstein's private Caribbean island.

2022 to be a monumental year for the Queen
The Queen is due to reach her historic Platinum Jubilee in 2022, becoming the first British monarch to celebrate 70 years on the throne.
The national Jubilee festivities are taking place in June over a four-day holiday weekend.
But the Queen is actually set to pass the milestone on February 6 – the anniversary of the death of her father King George VI in 1952.
The Queen usually spends her accession day privately at Sandringham, but it is possible she may be seen at church, or carry out a local engagement in Norfolk as she has done in the past on milestone jubilees.
The royal extravaganza from June 2-5 – with an extra Bank Holiday – includes Trooping the Colour, a service of thanksgiving at St Paul's Cathedral, a visit to the Epsom Derby, a live concert at Buckingham Palace, and street parties and picnics.
A Platinum Jubilee Pageant will also be staged on June 5 against the backdrop of the Palace and along The Mall in central London, and combine street arts, theatre, music, circus, carnival and costume.
But how much the public will see of the Queen during the celebrations has not yet been confirmed by Buckingham Palace.

The meaning behind Harry & Meghan's 'constant hand holding'
MEGHAN & Harry's 'constant' displays of public affection offer a window into the truth about their relationship, an expert has claimed.
Inbaal Honigman, astrologer and body language expert has analysed the Duke and Duchess of Sussex's physical affection - claiming it shows the strength of their partnership.
She said: "Looking at Harry and Meghan, they are certainly in love. They haven't been married for that many years, and are still having babies, which is a very loving stage of a relationship.
"So their constant hand holding, cuddling, leaning on each other, are displays of affection, which are definitely genuine and not for the cameras."

Six witnesses can link Prince Andrew to sex assault accuser, say lawyers
LAWYERS for Prince Andrew's sex assault accuser claim they have six witnesses who will say the two met — as they labelled Ghislaine Maxwell's conviction "ominous" for the royal.
David Boies urged Andrew to "take responsibility" for his alleged actions as he outlined what Maxwell's guilt may mean for Virginia Roberts Giuffre's sex assault lawsuit against him.
US District Judge Lewis Kaplan, sitting in New York, will decide on Tuesday if Ms Roberts' civil claim for unspecified damages against the Duke of York can proceed to trial.
It came as her lawyers made eight "discovery requests" of the duke in readiness for a possible longer hearing including proof for his Newsnight claim that he cannot sweat.
Ms Giuffre, 38, said in a 2019 interview that the prince was "sweating all over me" at a club on a night she alleges they had sex.
She claims she was trafficked to the duke in 2001 at age 17 and abused in London, New York and the Caribbean.
