highly recognised in england by many people. like, my grandma probably understands it a lot more than she understands when i won the fifa best player of the world. so, yeah, it's a different feeling, and it's something that i think, yeah, for my family especially, it'll make them very proud. the summer of sporting celebrations on home soil didn't stop there, as the commonwealth games lit up birmingham. many of those who helped organise the games have been recognised, including olympic heptathlon champion and president of commonwealth games england, denise lewis, who's been made a dame for services to sport. i'm beside myself. i'm overwhelmed. i'm delighted and immensely proud. i do believe that it is my duty to behave and act and inspire. sport has taught me some of the most amazing values and given me the most amazing values, and so those are the things i try to impart when i'm representing my sport

and the sporting community. it's what i believe in. and it has changed my life. two of scotland's top footballers have been made mbes, for their charity work as well as their onfield success. liverpool defender andy robertson has helped offer free football coaching to children in scotland, while arsenal'sjen beattie has been honoured for her work raising awareness around breast cancer following her diagnosis two years ago. it's something that i knew was the right thing to do at the time and i'm so proud that i did that and raised such a big awareness and for something that really matters to me, so to be recognised in that respect is really special. there are honours, too, for england's most capped netballer jade clarke and world champion cyclist lizzie deignan, who have both become mbes. but it's football that dominates the sporting honours to cap off 2022,

the year of the lionesses. laura scott, bbc news. yeah, congratulations to all of them. plenty of details on the other sporting honours on the bbc sport website, but for me and the team, have a very good night. hello there. after that very wet morning, conditions did gradually improve through the afternoon, but it looks like the rain will return for many of us as we reach the last day of 2022. it'll be quite windy as well. this is new year's eve's rain—bearing weather front. this is today's low pushing out into the norwegian sea, and it'll bring a swathe of gales or severe gales to the northern quarter of scotland through the overnight period. some sleet and snow and ice to watch out for here, as it will be chilly. but further south, it's outbreaks of rain, a few clear spells and it'll be milder here as well. now, as we head into new year's eve morning, more rain will push into england and wales through the day. some of it will be heavy

at times in places. and across scotland, it stays cold with wintriness across the north highlands there. again, a cold day to come in the north. very mild in the south — ia or 15 degrees. then as we push closer to midnight, rain will be lying through central parts of the uk. chilly with wintry showers to the north. a dry spell for a time in the south.
