Recognising remarkable achievements
Honours exist to recognise the work and dedication of people from all walks of life to make their community – and their country – a better place.
While Honours are officially given to recipients by The King, this is supported by a lot of hard work behind the scenes and that often begins with members of the public recognising the work of colleagues and others in the community by nominating them for an award.
Part of the role of the Lord-Lieutenant is to assist people in making a nomination for an honour where they believe the work of someone should be recognised.
