ISLAMABAD: London Mayor Sadiq Khan, the son of Pakistani immigrants, was awarded a knighthood by King Charles III for public service, a recognition he described on Tuesday as a “truly humbling moment” for himself and his family. Khan, who grew up on a council estate in Tooting, south London, is the son of a bus driver and a seamstress. A trained human rights lawyer, he made history in 2016 by becoming the first Muslim mayor of London, and was re-elected for a third term last year, a rare feat in British politics.

Sir Sadiq, who has been Mayor of London since 2016 and was re-elected as mayor of the capital in both 2021 and 2024, making him the first London mayor to win a third term.
