Volunteers and philanthropists from the Jewish community have been recognised in the New Year's Honours List.

Marjorie Ziff is made MBE for services to the community in Leeds.

The 81-year-old has served the city's Jewish community for nearly 60 years alongside her husband, Arnold, who died in 2004.

Their charitable donations have supported dozens of local and international groups, including Leeds Jewish Blind Society, Leeds Metropolitan University and the Royal College of Music.
