We were pleased to spot two Old Bedfordians among those recognised by this year’s Queen’s Birthday Honours list.
England Cricket Captain Alastair Cook MBE (98-03), who recently became the first Englishman to reach 10,000 Test runs, has received a CBE for Services to Cricket. Whilst Rt Hon Desmond Swayne TD MP (70-75), the Conservative MP for New Forest West, has received a Knighthood for Political and Parliamentary Services. Our congratulations go to both men on this special achievement!
