Stars of the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games have been recognised in the New Year Honours list.

Double Olympic champion Mo Farah, plus heptathlete Jessica Ennis, rower Katherine Grainger and cyclist Victoria Pendleton - who all also won gold in London - have each been made a CBE.

And Paralympic athlete David Weir, who won four gold medals at the 2012 Paralympics, also becomes a CBE.

Katherine Grainger: "This one's special - it's like winning all over again"

Bradley Wiggins and Ben Ainslie are knighted. Sarah Storey is made a dame.

GB cycling performance director Dave Brailsford and rowing chief David Tanner also receive knighthoods.

Britain's remarkable sporting year is reflected in a list dominated by athletes and coaches from the London Games.

Farah, 29, completed the 5,000m and 10,000m double at his home Games in August, while Ennis claimed victory in the heptathlon. Grainger, 37, won gold at her fourth attempt, having taken silver in Sydney, Athens and Beijing.

Pendleton retired on a high after adding a gold and a silver to the gold medal she won in Beijing four years ago.

David Weir's achievements saw him shortlisted for the BBC's Sports Personality of the Year award after a year in which he won four Paralympic gold medals to add to his two from Beijing. The 33-year-old also won his sixth London Marathon.

Three of Britain's double gold medallists - dressage star Charlotte Dujardin and cycling couple Jason Kenny and Laura Trott - have been appointed OBE, as has Andy Murray, who won the Olympic men's singles title before adding a maiden Grand Slam at the US Open.

Paralympic dressage star Sophie Christiansen, who won three golds in the summer, and Ellie Simmonds, who was shortlisted for BBC Sport's Personality of the year after winning two golds, a silver and bronze at London 2012, also become OBEs.

Simmonds, 18, said the recognition was the perfect way to round off a remarkable 2012 for her and her ParalympicsGB team-mates.

"It's been a great honour to be included in the list, which caps an amazing year for me personally and for British sport," she said.

In total, 29 athletes from ParalympicsGB have been recognised with honours following their achievements in the summer in which they won 120 medals, 34 of them gold.

Nicola Adams said: "I can't believe how much my life has changed"

Tim Hollingsworth, chief executive of the British Paralympic Association, said: "Their performances on the field of play not only received rapturous applause from the crowds at London 2012 and viewers of the TV coverage - many of whom were experiencing Paralympic sport for the first time - but the 11 days of sport that we witnessed this summer also gripped the nation and changed many peoples' perception of disability sport.

"It is fitting that so many of our gold medallists are offered some of the highest tributes possible, which reflect not only their sporting talent but also the sheer hard work and dedication that they put into preparing for their home Games.

"We are extremely proud of their achievements."

Other London 2012 gold medallists appointed MBE include boxers Nicola Adams, Luke Campbell and Anthony Joshua, as well as their coach Robert McCracken - who also trains super-middleweight world champion Carl Froch.

Triathlete Alistair Brownlee, taekwondo star Jade Jones and shooter Peter Wilson are also recognised.

Rowers Katherine Copeland, Helen Glover, Alex Gregory, Heather Stanning, Sophie Hoskin, Hannah Watkins, kayaker Ed McKeever and canoeist Etienne Stott, are also among those appointed MBE.

Gymnast Louis Smith, who won team bronze and individual silver at the Games, is made an MBE - a week after becoming the BBC's Strictly Come Dancing champion.

And the 23-year-old admitted it has been a year he will never forget.

Smith delights in 'remarkable' MBE

"To receive this honour is out of this world and something I never would have dreamt of as I grew up in the sport of gymnastics," added Smith.

"This year has been like no other for so many reasons. I wasn't sure it could get any better but to be awarded an MBE is the icing on the cake and without a doubt the proudest moment of my life."

A number of coaches also become MBEs - Malcolm Brown for triathlon, shooting's Ian Coley, equestrian performance director Will Connell, Paul Hall for gymnastics, David Howlett for sailing, McCracken for boxing, and Paul Thompson and Robin Williams for rowing.
