TT legend, Morecambe’s John McGuinness, has finally picked up his MBE for services to motorcycle racing.
John was originally handed the accolade in the 2021 New Year Honours List, but the coronavirus pandemic meant he’s only now received his award, in a ceremony that took place at Windsor Castle, presided over by the Princess Royal.
Taking to Twitter, and posing for photographs with his wife Becky, the Morecambe Missile said: "I’m super proud of this one. What an honour, Thank you for all the support over the years".

John is the greatest living Isle of Man TT racer, with 23 wins to his credit in a career which has spanned three decades, the first back in 1999.
He will compete in the Isle of Man TT in May, as it returns after two years away due to the Covid 19 pandemic.
