Little Missenden angler recognised for his work

Mr Buller said: "It was a surprise until I had the letter from the Cabinet Office in late November as I have been scribbling away for a long time.
"My wife and another lady knew about it but I didn't until it actually came through. It made me have a different opinion about ladies not being able to keep a secret."
Mr Buller's passion drove him to spend all of the summers of his youth initially being put on a train with a label on his back to stay with his great aunt in Blandford, Dorset, where he was able to fish from the banks of the River Stour. When he was older he made the same journey cycling the 108-mile journey each way from his home to the town.
His hobby has not always done him favours. He remembers being locked up when he was 14 for poaching on the River Chess. But he went on to work conducting research on a fishery at Windermere, in the Lake District, and later worked as a prominent developer of fishing tackle.
Mr Buller wrote with his late friend Hugh Falkus and spent a total of 30 years creating a modern version of the earliest book on angling - Dame Juliana's 'The Angling Treatise and its Mysteries' originally published in 1496 and written in Old English. During the process they received permission to destroy a wood in St Albans to recreate a picture from the Medieval text. Mr Falkus died before the book was published in 2001.
Mr Buller's latest work 'Fish & Fishermen in English Medieval Church Wall Paintings' was released in October after he spent two years visiting 130 churches across England and Wales.
Mr Buller, who retired five years ago from being managing director of Frederick Beesley Gunmakers in Little Chalfont, plans to celebrate with a party in his garden in the Spring with wife Margaret, who shares his love of freshwater fishing, his three grown-up children and family and friends. He continues to enjoy fishing for salmon in Scotland and also angling on the nearby River Misbourne and Shardeloes House lake.
He added: "Everybody is really pleased and my wife especially is looking forward to going. It doesn't happen everyday. It is really about the kindness of people at the end of the day."
