Former director of Bletchley Park Simon Greenish is made MBE
A former Bletchley Park Trust director from Bedfordshire is among those to be recognised in the Queen's Birthday Honours list.
Simon Greenish, from Felmersham, has been appointed MBE for services to English heritage.
He is credited with implementing the recovery programme of Buckinghamshire's former World War II codebreaking site.
In his six years at the trust from 2006, it was transformed into a globally reputed heritage site.
"I am very proud [of the honour] and very grateful that Bletchley is now recognised for the incredibly important site it was," he said.
"I feel I have played a part in that - but it is most important that the site has been saved because it was within a whisker of being lost."
The Birthday Honours also see boss of Milton Keynes-based Red Bull Racing, Christian Horner, made an OBE.
Mr Horner, who lives in Oxfordshire, is being honoured for services to motor sport.
Other people living in Bedfordshire, Buckinghamshire and Hertfordshire to be given awards include Lesley Clarke, from High Wycombe, chair of the Women in Local Government Association, who is made an OBE for services to local government.

Luton and Dunstable Hospital volunteer Janet Graham becomes an MBE for services to healthcare and patients.
