STELLA McCartney, who designed the
uniforms worn by Britain's record-smashing Olympic team, and Scottish
physicist Peter Higgs, who gave his name to the so-called "God
particle," are among the hundreds being honored by Queen Elizabeth II
this New Year.
The list is particularly heavy with Britain's Olympic heroes, but it also includes Star Wars
actor Ewan McGregor, eccentric English singer Kate Bush, Roald Dahl
illustrator Quentin Blake, and Jamie Lowther-Pinkerton, the royal aide
who helped organize the watched-around-the-world wedding of Prince
William to Kate Middleton.
McCartney
was honored with the title of Officer of the Order of the British
Empire, or OBE, in part for her work creating the skintight,
red-white-and-blue uniforms worn by British athletes as they grabbed 65
medals during the 2012 games hosted by London.
