Meet the Shropshire heroes whose 'incredible efforts' are recognised in King's Birthday Honours
Five county residents have been recognised by the King after being named in his Birthday Honours List.
The honours, which include OBEs, an MBE and a BEM, come in recognition of a host of selfless efforts, from charity support to public service.
As well as the five county residents named in the list there is one face that will be instantly recognisable to the people of Shropshire in the shape of TV presenter Nick Owen, who receives an MBE for services to broadcasting.
Across the county, Bishop's Castle's Heather Keates, Chief Executive Officer of Community Money Advice, is awarded the OBE for services to debt advice.
Gareth Michael Niblett of Telford also receives the OBE for services to benefit and pension provision in his role as an Incident and Crisis Response Business Partner for the Department for Work and Pensions.
The county's Vice Lord Lieutenant, Jenny Wynn, is the third county resident awarded the OBE, with the recognition awarded for her charitable and public service.
Robyn Mary Davies of Telford will receive the MBE for services to young people and the community in her role as District Governor and Leader of the Rotary Youth Leadership Award.
As District Governor of 52 Rotary clubs in the Midlands Ms Davies has developed and led the Rotary Youth Leadership Award (RYLA) scheme in her area.
Robert Vincent Davies, 73, of Bridgnorth has also been awarded the BEM for his services to the community in the town.
Mr Davies has been a volunteer trustee of the Bridgnorth Housing Trust Charity for 39 years and Chairman for 36 years. The organisation is part of the Alms House Association and owns 72 properties around the town which are rented to local people.
He was also a founding member of the town's annual walk, which raises huge amounts for charity.
All five county residents have been commended by Shropshire's Lord-Lieutenant, Anna Turner.
She said: "It brings me a huge amount of pleasure to see that we have so many people in Shropshire that have been recognised by His Majesty for the outstanding work they have achieved.
"These medals are only given to a small proportion of people who have either achieved something exceptional in public life or selflessly made life better for others.
"It is a proud moment for all of us and I would like to congratulate them all for their incredible efforts."
