He's to be awarded with an MBE (Member of the Order of the British Empire) for services to Isle of Man ornithology.
Also, Joan Marilyn Cannell is being honoured with a BEM (British Empire Medal) for her long service to the community of Kirk Michael as well as the whole Island - she's also been a supporter of local music with over 50 years of involvement with the Guild.
Mrs Cannell was also a long-serving contributor to Manx Radio's Thought for the Day and Just a Minute features.
