Honours are awarded by His Majesty The King in June (The Birthday Honours) and at the start of each year (The New Year Honours). There are many different Honours that can be awarded including Knighthoods, Commanders of the British Empire (CBE), Officers of the British Empire (OBE), Members of the British Empire (MBE) and Medallists of the British Empire (BEM).

Many nominations are made, and the process of considering each nomination is lengthy. Sometimes the Lord-Lieutenant or one of her Deputies is asked to comment on a nomination. It usually takes at least 18 months for the process to be completed. The number of nominations far exceeds the number of Honours given.

Recipients of all Honours apart from the British Empire Medallists are invited to Buckingham Palace or Windsor Castle to receive their award. The Lord-Lieutenant presents the BEM honours.
