Former professional footballer and charity founder Lou Macari has been awarded the Member of the Order of the British Empire (MBE) in a ceremony at Windsor Castle.
The investiture took place on Wednesday, with the Prince of Wales presenting the medal to Macari in recognition of his services to football and charitable work.
Macari, who played for clubs including Manchester United and Celtic during his career, has been actively involved in charitable initiatives following his retirement from the sport. The honor acknowledges both his contributions on the pitch and his philanthropic efforts off it.
The ceremony at Windsor Castle marks a significant personal milestone for the former player, whose post-football career has focused on giving back to the community through various charitable endeavors.
