A woman who went to school in Llangollen has been awarded the OBE in the Queen's birthday honours list.
Sara Pierson, the elder daughter of David and Judy Pierson, was honoured for services to UK education and the promotion of the English language overseas.
Born and brought up in Glyndyfrdwy where her parents still live and she loves to visit them, Sara attended Llangollen Primary School, Ysgol Dinas Bran and Ellesmere College.
She obtained an honours degree at Warwick University then worked at the Open University in Milton Keynes before moving on to work for the British Council, where she is currently employed as Director of Examinations.
In her present role since August 2015, Sara has overall accountability for strategic relationships with over 150 UK examination boards and awarding bodies, ensuring delivery of university, school, professional and English language exams in line with their exacting standards and quality frameworks.
She has previously worked in senior partnerships positions at OUW Ltd, a subsidiary of the Open University.
Her proud parents said: "Sara has many friends in and around Llangollen who we know will be delighted to hear of her success."
