Star Wars composer John Williams and former Disney CEO Bob Iger were the last honorary knights to be approved by the late Queen Elizabeth II.<\/b><\/p>\n

Williams, 91, was cited for his services to film music, while Iger was recognised for his contribution to UK\/US relations.<\/p>\n

The honours list, published on Friday, also included chef and TV presenter Ken Hom, who was made an honorary CBE.<\/p>\n

He is recognised for his charity work, culinary arts and education.<\/p>\n

Williams is considered one of the world’s greatest film composers, and has won numerous awards during his long career including five Oscars.<\/p>\n

He is behind scores for blockbusters such as Jaws, ET, the Harry Potter films, Saving Private Ryan, Jurassic Park, Schindler’s List and the Indiana Jones series.<\/p>\n

More recently, he composed the music for another Steven Spielberg memoir movie The Fabelmans, a favourite in the coming awards season. <\/p>\n

Guide to the Honours<\/a><\/p>\n

The Foreign Office has responsibility for the Diplomatic Service and Overseas List, which recognises service overseas, or service in the UK with a substantial international component. And honorary awards for foreign nationals are recommended by the foreign secretary.<\/p>\n

The Queen – or now King Charles III – would then informally approve the list and letters are sent to each nominee. Once a nominee accepts the proposed honour, the list is formally approved.
