Queen's Birthday Honours list for Derbyshire
An 80-year-old woman who has helped raise more than £1m for charity receives a British Empire Medal (BEM) in the Queen's Birthday Honours list.
Kaylet Smedley, chair of the Derbyshire branch of the Leukaemia Research Fund, joined the charity after her son died from cancer 47 years ago.
She receives the British Empire Medal (BEM) for services to leukaemia and lymphoma research.
Mrs Smedley said it was "such an honour" to be recognised.
"It's an accolade to everybody who has helped raise money for the cause and not just me," she said.
"When my eight-year-old son Andrew died there was no or very little hope but now people, many children, can be cured.
"The money has provided vital funds to commit to research and treatment for those with blood cancer and has given them hope and life."
She will be celebrating her diamond wedding anniversary in December and is also taking part in the London 2012 Olympic torch relay for the county on 29 June.
Two people in Derbyshire are appointed Commander of the British Empire (CBE), eight appointed Member of the British Empire (MBE) and five receive the BEM.
PC Eileen Banton, 52, based in Swadlincote for Derbyshire Police, who is appointed MBE for services to the community, works with older and vulnerable people.
"I was in disbelief followed quickly by being lost for words, a first for me, then very humbled," she said. "I will have this time in my memory forever."
Acting Assistant Chief Constable Steven Cotterill, of Derbyshire Police, who has worked for the force for 29 years, receives the Queen's Police Medal (QPM).
"I feel very fortunate and proud to have been honoured in this way," he said.
