A VILLAGE near Petersfield has double cause for celebration this week with the announcement that two of its residents have been recognised in the Queen's Birthday Honours List.

Professor John Craven, the vice-chancellor of the University of Portsmouth, has been awarded a CBE for his services to higher education and to the community in Portsmouth.

And Pamela Valler, another community-minded stalwart, has been honoured with a BEM for her services as a youth worker and treasurer for Rogate Youth Club.
