Birthday Honours

The Birthday Honours are a tradition in the United Kingdom and some Commonwealth countries where individuals are recognized for their outstanding contributions to society. Announced twice a year—around the official monarch's birthday and in New Year—they honor achievements across various fields such as public service, arts, sciences, and community work. Recipients may receive titles, medals, or other awards, which publicly acknowledge their dedication and impact. The process involves nominations, review, and approval by the monarchy or relevant authorities, serving as a formal way to celebrate and incentivize service and excellence within society.
