Available for over a year

Decoration, diversity and debate. England footy hero, Raheem Sterling, has made it onto this year’s Queen’s Honours List and will be appointed as a Member of the Order of the British Empire (MBE) for his services to racial equality in sport. But even though this year's list is the most diverse so far, more and more people are actually turning down honours from the Queen. Tunde Okewale MBE came through this week. He received his MBE back in 2016 after founding his charity Urban Lawyers. His take: let’s occupy spaces that our ancestors couldn’t.
