Two billionaire brothers from Blackburn have been made CBEs a week after clinching a £6.8bn deal to buy the Asda supermarket chain from Walmart.
Mohsin and Zuber Issa were among a number of business bosses on the Queen's Birthday Honours list.
GlaxoSmithkline chief executive Emma Walmsley was made a dame for services to the pharmaceutical industry.
The drugs firm is one of about 20 that is part of a global race to develop a coronavirus vaccine.
