The New Year’s Honours began in the 19th century during Queen Victoria‘s reign. According to Reuters, the honors “aim to recognise not just well-known figures but those who have contributed to national life through often selfless and unsung contributions over many years.”

“The twice-yearly honours list is released on the Queen’s official birthday in June and at the end of each year. The list, along with a guide to the various awards, is published by the Cabinet Office and can be seen at www.gov.uk/honours/honours-lists.”
