Moray
Members of the Order of the British Empire (MBE)
Glenn McIntosh Munro from Elgin is being recognised for his services to music.
In 1992, Mr Munro founded the Moray Concert Brass from the Moray Music Centre Senior brass band.
The group traditionally rehearsed from August to March annually, before taking to the stage at Christmas and Easter.
However, after gaining permission to continue the group during the summer months, the Moray Concert Brass was created.
In 2016, the conductor was dealt a devastating blow after being diagnosed with bowel cancer and again in 2018 following a relapse.
In 2022, he walked the Brave catwalk.
Plus, here are the 15 recipients of the King’s Birthday Honours 2024 from Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire.
