Congratulations to Tessa Jowell and Tony Cunningham, both of whom have been awarded honours.
Tessa Jowell (now Dame Tessa) receives her title just a matter of weeks before the start of the Olympics – an event that might never have happened without her energy and enthusiasm.
Tony Cunningham (now Sir Tony), is a longstanding campaigner on human rights and international development.
Congratulations to them both.
