Paul Roach who attended Francis Combes School, now Future Academies Watford, in Horseshow Lane, holds the position of town manager for Windsor, Eton and Ascot.
He is also deputy chair of Ceremonial Events Planning Group for the Royal Borough of Windsor and Maidenhead.
Mr Roach received the accolade as part of King Charles III’s birthday honours list that was released on Friday, June 16.

He said: “It is an incredible honour and surprise to be recognised in this way.

More than 100,000 people visited Windsor last September as the borough hosted Her Majesty’s Procession and Committal Service, following the state funeral service in Westminster Abbey on Monday, September 19.
