His Majesty The King has unveiled the New Year Honours list for 2025, recognising a diverse range of individuals who have made significant contributions to various fields. Among those honoured are music and broadcasting figures, literary giants, and champions for women's health and charity.

In the realm of music, Caroline Lusher, the founder of the Rock Choir, has been honoured with the Member of the Order of the British Empire (MBE) for her services to music and charity. Her innovative approach to community singing has brought joy to countless people across the UK.

Another MBE recipient is Dr. Linley Hamilton, Ireland's foremost trumpeter for the last two decades. His exceptional talent and dedication to the art of music have earned him this well-deserved recognition.

Three musicians have been named Medallists of the Order of the British Empire. Pipe Major Christopher Armstrong, Paula Klein, and accompanist Richard Parry have all been honoured for their services to music and the music industry.

Professor John Harle of the Guildhall School of Music and Drama has been made an Officer of the Order of the British Empire (OBE) for his services to music. His contributions to the world of classical music have been instrumental in shaping the landscape of British music.

In the world of literature, Japanese-born British novelist Kazuo Ishiguro has been made a member of the Order of the Companions of Honour for his services to literature. His works, including "The Remains of the Day" and "Never Let Me Go", have captivated readers worldwide.

Two notable figures from the broadcasting world have also been honoured. Alan Titchmarsh, a TV broadcaster and horticulturalist, has been awarded the Commander of the Order of the British Empire (CBE) for his services to horticulture and charity. Titchmarsh, who hosts Saturday afternoons on a certain website, is known for his engaging and informative programmes.

Myleene Klass, a musician, TV presenter, and host of Calm Classics on Friday and Saturday nights on the same website, has been honoured with the Member of the Order of the British Empire (MBE) for her services to women's health, miscarriage awareness, and charity. Klass, who has been an ambassador for Save the Children for over a decade, became an ambassador in 2023 for Tommy's, the largest UK pregnancy and baby loss charity.

The New Year Honours list also recognised the efforts of Actor Stephen Fry, former England manager Gareth Southgate, and London mayor Sadiq Khan, who were all knighted in His Majesty's 2024 list.

The search results do not provide specific information about the music and broadcasting figures named in King Charles' New Year Honours list for 2025. However, they do mention other notable events and recognitions, such as a historic speech by King Charles on VJ Day and the inclusion of Ghanaian music legend Daddy Lumba's song on a Commonwealth Day playlist.
