Look North's Harry Gration honoured by Queen

Bradford-born Gration presented Look North from 1984-1994 before returning to the programme in 1999.
A woman who has coached budding gymnasts for more than four decades will also become an MBE for services to gymnastics and the community.

Gration said of his MBE for services to broadcasting: "It is an overwhelming honour. Something I never thought would happen to me.
"I know my family is very proud but I have to say thank you to all my colleagues. They are the ones who have made this happen.
"For a lad born in a back-to-back in Bradford I know my mum and dad would have loved to have been around for this day."
