He Said it was a " tremendous honour" and he was " very humbled by it all".

Prof Van-Tam was knighted in the New Year Honours list along with England's chief medical officer Prof Chris Whitty , who attended a with him on Saturday.

Speaking at The Ceremony organised by Boston Borough Council, which now allows him to drive sheep over The Town Bridge and into the Market Place , Prof Van-Tam said: " What a superb accolade to be recognised by your Home Town and by The People you grew up with.

" I connect To My Home Town These Days through my really happy memories, through people I still know in The Town and of course through the football club. "

Speaking about Growing Up , Prof Van-Tam said his childhood memories " live With You for a lifetime" and reminisced about Growing Up in The Outskirts of Boston and picking vegetables.

Deputy chief medical officer for England since 2017, he often appeared alongside Prime Minister Boris Johnson at televised news briefings, where he caught The Public 's attention by The Way he described coronavirus.

He Said his formative years in The Town had aided him in giving the briefings, saying: " It's really helped me think about my audience. When I get deeply complex scientific questions, I think back To My audience and think: 'Well, what would they want to know?'. "

He told the pandemic had been " really difficult" for people, and in addressing his High Profile during the response, He Said : " It's something you have to face if you're in a national role, but I'd rather be Mr Ordinary. "

Prof Van-Tam, who previously worked in the pharmaceutical industry and for the UK Health Protection Agency, also volunteered as a vaccinator to help distribute Covid-19 jabs.

On receiving his honour, he wanted to stress The Team effort of The Last two years, saying: " There are thousands upon thousands of people in This Country who have done every bit as much as I have in their own roles either locally or regionally, and they all to deserve recognition and thanks. "
