The Lord-Lieutenant would like to congratulate all the Greater Manchester recipients of Honours in the New Year's Honours List. Honours are a fantastic way of thanking ordinary people who do extraordinary things. This would not be possible without people taking the time to nominate them and so he would also like to particularly thank them. Anyone can nominate a deserving person so should you know of someone who deserves to be nominated then please go to our honours website where you can find out how to do it.
