Sir Tony McCoy.
AP McCoy has been awarded a knighthood.
The 41 year old, from Moneyglass in Co. Antrim, has been honoured after a stellar racing career, which saw him win 19 consecutive Champion Jockey titles, as well as every major race in the sport.
McCoy retired earlier this year and rode a total of 4,358 winners in his career.
The former jockey called the knighthood his 'greatest honour'.
