Manchester United’s number 10, Marcus Rashford has become an MBE in the Queen’s birthday honour list.
This honour follows his campaign to the government to allow 1.3 million children claim free meal vouchers during the Corona pandemic.
Marcus Rashford has often spoken about how his dream is to have no hungry child in England.
The Queen’s Birthday Honours list was originally scheduled to be published in June, but it was postponed by the prime minister to allow nominations of people who played crucial roles during the first months of the coronavirus pandemic.
Like a CBE or an OBE, an MBE is an order of the British Empire award. It is the third highest ranking Order of the British Empire award, behind CBE which is first and then OBE. It stands for Member of the Order of the British Empire (as opposed to Commander or Officer).
