Sarina Wiegman an honorary dame as Lionesses and Red Roses get honours

• Leah Williamson made an OBE; four Lionesses are MBEs

• Torvill and Dean now a dame and a knight

Sarina Wiegman has been awarded an honorary damehood after guiding England to back-to-back European titles, in a new year honours list dominated by the Lionesses and England’s victorious women’s rugby union team.

The Red Roses’ World Cup success on home soil has led to the captain, Zoe Aldcroft, the vice-captain, Marlie Packer, and the head coach, John Mitchell, named OBEs, while Megan Jones, Sadia Kabeya and Ellie Kildunne become MBEs.
