Some prominent Londoners - and many more lesser known - are among more than 1,000 recognised in the King's Birthday Honours list.
Artist Tracey Emin - from Croydon - who is known for her autobiographical and confessional artwork, said: "Dame Tracey has a good ring to it. I'm very, very happy. Another brilliant surprise in my life."
The Crown actress Dame Imelda, also made a Dame, said she was "thrilled" to be made a dame for her services to drama and charity.
She said: "I feel genuinely humbled to be recognised on the same level as the amazing actresses, all the great dames, who have led the way for so many of us."
London Stock Exchange chief executive Julia Hoggett was made a dame and financier Bill Browder was given a knighthood for his human rights and anti-corruption work as head of the Global Magnitsky Justice Campaign.
Several Metropolitan Police officers and staff were recognised for their dedication to public service.
Two officers were recognised for services to the monarchy. Inspector Keith Murphy was made a member of the Royal Victorian Order, and Security Officer Peter David Wilson was given a Royal Victorian Medal Silver.
Three Met officers - Detective Inspector Phillip Carruth, Deputy Assistant Commissioner Helen Millichap, and Constable David Yanson - were awarded individual King's Policing Medals.
Three individual British Empire Medals were also awarded to Met Police staffers, with Jillian Boundy, Inspector Len Stevenson, and Detective Sergeant Viran Wiltshire all recognised for their work in making London a safer place.
Metropolitan Police Commissioner Sir Mark Rowley said: "These awards are very special and I know every recipient and their families take huge pride in them."
