Motorcycling world champion Jonathan Rea has received his MBE at Buckingham Palace.
The 30-year-old Ballyclare man, a triple world superbike champion, was presented with his honour by Prince William.
Last June, Rea was named in the Queen’s birthday honours list. In September he completed a hat-trick of successive World Superbike titles.
