Alan Bates Knighted for Exposing Post Office Scandal

Bates, who campaigned for justice for wrongly convicted sub-postmasters, is honored in the King's Birthday list.

Alan Bates, who exposed the Post Office Horizon scandal, receives a knighthood from King Charles III.
Bates declined an OBE last year but accepted the knighthood after former Post Office boss Paula Vennells returned her CBE.
Bates led a campaign that resulted in a public inquiry and compensation for wrongly convicted sub-postmasters.
Other honorees include artist Tracey Emin, actress Imelda Staunton, and cyclist Mark Cavendish.
Bates emphasizes that many victims still await full compensation and vows to continue the fight for justice.
