“I’m totally thrilled, delighted and humbled to be in the company of these incredible people, most of whom have been nowhere near as visible as I have, but should be - and hopefully now will be,” Colman told Press Association.
“It’s such an honour,” she added.
Sculptor Rachel Whiteread and chief executive of the Maggie’s cancer centres Laura Lee also become dames, and actor Simon Russell Beale and founder of Operation Black Vote Simon Woolley have both been knighted.
