England pair Henderson and Sterling are awarded MBEs

England stars Raheem Sterling and Jordan Henderson along with Roy Hodgson, Sue Barker and Kevin Sinfield are among the leading names from the world of sport to be recognised in the Queen's Birthday Honours list.

Current Three Lions internationals Henderson and Sterling both receive MBEs ahead of England's Euro 2020 opener against Croatia on Sunday.

Liverpool captain Henderson, a Champions League and Premier League winner in the last two years, receives his for his sporting exploits but also in recognition of his part in forming a charitable fund, Players Together, which supported NHS good causes during the first coronavirus pandemic lockdown last spring.
