The 2020 Queen’s Birthday Honours list will recognise “outstanding contributions” of doctors, nurses, and volunteers in the UK's battle against coronavirus. First list of its kind to honour the contributions of the frontline and key workers, the 2020 Queen’s Birthday Honours list will be unveiled on October 10.
Traditionally published in early June to coincide with the official birthday of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, the list this year was postponed to include nominations of people playing crucial roles during the first months of the Covid-19 effort.The recipients include Captain Sir Tom Moore who had been previously knighted by the Queen in a unique ceremony in July after raising about £40 million for NHS contributions at the height of the pandemic.
