She said: "I couldn't believe it when I received the letter. I struggled to keep the news to myself but I was absolutely delighted."

Jayne will receive full details of the ceremony at Buckingham Palace nearer to the time but will continue to play a big part in the band in the mean-time.

She said: "We have lots of exciting projects coming up this year including a trip to Paris."

The band of 60 players will perform at Euro Disney and at the band-stand at Notre Dame during a five day trip to France at the end of May.

The Sleaford Concert Band was formed on May, 9, 1998 and has developed into one of the leading wind bands in Lincolnshire.

The band has won numerous awards for its charity work having raised more than £30,000 in the last 10 years.

It was nominated for The Queen's Award for Voluntary Service in 2012 and although unsuccessful, it did get into the last five nominations from the whole of Lincolnshire.
