The list consists athletes, entertainers and political leaders among others, with 23-year old Rashford appearing under the classification 'advocates'.

In the Queen's Birthday Honours, Rashford was made an MBE for his works in fighting against Child Food Poverty in his home country over the past year as well as recognised with a special award at BBC Sports Personality of the Year.

A petition set up by the footballer calling for free school meals to be offered in England during school holidays reached one million signatures in October and, after huge public pressure, the government agreed to offer extra support to hard-pressed families over the winter.
