Ben took to Instagram on Thursday to congratulate Kate on her MBE for services to broadcasting, journalism and charity. 

He posted a montage of photos from the momentous day, plus a sweet throwback from their decades of friendship.

Ben wrote: "She's been making [me] laugh for over 20 years (not least with the haircuts!!) and that continued today as we celebrated, smiled, laughed and more as @kategarraway was honoured with her MBE. 

"It was so so special to see her Derek, Bill and Darcy along with her amazing parents altogether for such a special occasion.

"She never fails to inspire and infuriate me in equal measure and I wouldn't have it any other way!!
