Alex writes, “This year I received an honour at The House of Lords, from The World Peace and Prosperity Foundation, for “Exceptional Services National and International to Mankind”. This relates to my work as an artist, with the British Army in Helmand and the foundation of The Afghan Rugby Federation in Kabul. A great honour given that last year Malala Yousafzai received this award. I also appeared in the University Challenge Christmas Special for Durham University!”
