Birthday Honours: 'Real' people alongside celebrities
Blackadder actor Tony Robinson has been knighted in the Queen's Birthday Honours on a list that also includes his co-star Rowan Atkinson.
He is recognised for his public and political work, while Atkinson's CBE is for services to drama and charity.
Chart-topper Adele follows up her best song Oscar win with an MBE, and the same honour goes to singer-songwriter PJ Harvey.
A total of 1,180 people are named on the Birthday Honours list, with 72% of the recipients people who are actively engaged in charitable or voluntary work within their local communities.
