However, he said: "The MBE takes pride of place over them all."
Brian, who lives in Claxby, has served more than 33 years as a special constable and completed more than 18,000 hours during that time.
He has got an "indefinite" extension to carry on in service as long as fitness allows and is regularly out on duty, particularly on a Friday night, assisting a small number of officers covering the largest geographical sector of the county.
Brian also runs his own electrical construction business, is a long serving chairman of Claxby Parish Council – since being elected the post in 1998 – and involved in Neighbourhood Watch in his village.
