Former prime minister Gordon Brown, writer and satirist Armando Iannucci, ex-footballer Ally McCoist and Post Office campaigner Alan Bates have been recognised in the King's Birthday Honours list.

There is a knighthood for historian Professor Sir Niall Ferguson, who first came to the attention of many in the UK with the hit 2003 Channel 4 series Empire: How Britain Made The Modern World, and a best-selling book of the same name.

The Glasgow-born academic, who has written 16 books, said: "When an individual is honoured by the King, implicitly his formative influences are the real recipients of the honour.

"Anything I have achieved is in truth the achievement of my grandparents; my parents, Molly and Campbell; my school, the Glasgow Academy; my college, Magdalen, Oxford; and all the family members, teachers, mentors and friends who encouraged and supported me."

Myrna Bernard, from East Renfrewshire, has been awarded the British Empire Medal for services to the Jewish community and to the disabled in Scotland.

Describing her reaction to news of the award, she said: "It was a surprise, it was a shock, I'm very touched and just amazed and I'm delighted. It was very nice."
