And now Sheffield Council has announced another wave of recipients of Sheffield Legend stars - plaques carrying their name on the street outside Town Hall.
Another six have been announced to day, with two more already named and waiting to be added. There were 30 ‘legend’ nomination this year.
All eight are named and described with their citation in the gallery below.
Previous ‘legend’ recipients include Jessica Ennis-Hill and Joe Cocker.
The Sheffield Legends honour is awarded to individuals or groups who are or were at the top of their field, easily recognisable at a national or global level, and who have made a significant contribution to promoting Sheffield in a positive light.
Nominations were reviewed by an independent Awards Panel made up of representatives from across the city.
Sheffield Council leader, Councillor Tom Hunt, said: “The Sheffield Legends honours celebrate the people who have shaped our city’s story and recognise their great achievements.
“This year’s recipients are all people who inspire us and the world. They reflect the creativity, dedication and community spirit that define Sheffield. Their achievements have reached far beyond our borders but are shaped by the values that make our city extraordinary.
“We’re proud to recognise achievements and ensure they are celebrated for years to come.”
