Cheshire-based darts superstars Luke Littler and Luke Humphries have both been recognised in the King's Birthday Honours. Teenage sensation Littler, from Warrington, has been made an MBE.
It comes after the 18-year-old became the youngest ever world darts champion earlier this year. Humphries, who beat Littler in last year's PDC World Championship final, has also been made an MBE.
The 30-year-old is originally from Berkshire but now lives in Crewe. Both have been honoured for their services to the sport.
The two Lukes are used to locking horns but this weekend they will be teaming up for the World Cup of Darts, which got underway yesterday. Two players on each team represent 40 nations in total with Littler making his debut for England.
England are the overwhelming favourites to bring home the trophy. They are the defending champions after Humphries secured last year's title alongside Michael Smith.
