Chris Froome receives OBE.
Tour de France champion Chris Froome was officially presented with his Order of the British Empire by the Duke of Cambridge at a ceremony in Buckingham Palace on Friday.
The 2013 and 2015 Tour de France winner was given the award in the Queen's New Year Honours list for his services to cycling.
When the honour was announced in January, Froome said: "I am extremely humbled and very proud to receive this honour. It is obviously further recognition for the sport of cycling and it caps a fantastic year for me professionally and personally.
"It wouldn't be possible without the help of my teammates, coaches and of course the love and support from my family."

Nigel Wynn worked as associate editor on CyclingWeekly.com, he worked almost single-handedly on the Cycling Weekly website in its early days. His passion for cycling, his writing and his creativity, as well as his hard work and dedication, were the original driving force behind the website’s success. Without him, CyclingWeekly.com would certainly not exist on the size and scale that it enjoys today. Nigel sadly passed away, following a brave battle with a cancer-related illness, in 2018. He was a highly valued colleague, and more importantly, an exceptional person to work with - his presence is sorely missed.
