King Charles has awarded the Lieutenant-Governor, Vice Admiral Jeremy Kyd, a knighthood

The Lieutenant Governor of Jersey, Vice Admiral Jeremy Kyd, has been given a knighthood in King Charles III's Birthday Honours.

The King has also honoured four more Jersey residents for their services to the island: Ian Gallichan, Collette Crill, James Mews and Sarah Haycock.

Vice Adm Kyd has been appointed Knight Commander of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire for his services to the Bailiwick of Jersey and the Royal Navy.

The bailiff, Sir Timothy Le Cocq, said Vice Adm Kyd undertook his role as lieutenant governor in an "exemplary manner" which was "entirely worthy of this recognition and honour".

Ian Gallichan is smiling as he stands outside. He is wearing a navy jacket, navy jumper, blue and white striped shirt and a navy striped tie. Behind him are large boulders which form a wall and there are steps leading up through them. There is a small building behind him which has a door.

Ian Gallichan has been awarded Officer of the Order of the British Empire (OBE) for his services to the community as chief executive of Andium Homes.

Collette Crill and James Mews have both been awarded Member of the Order of the British Empire (MBE), Jurat Crill for her services to justice, human rights and the community and Mr Mews for his community work as chairman of Music in Action.

Sarah Haycock has been given the British Empire Medal (BEM) for her services to the community through her work for the Teenage Cancer Trust.

Honours typically celebrate the contribution of well-known people, government staff and people who have served their community.
