honours list

Royal awards announcement

An honours list is an official announcement of people receiving titles, medals, or other distinctions from a sovereign or head of state.

In the UK, honours lists are published several times yearly—notably the New Year Honours and Birthday Honours—naming those awarded knighthoods, OBEs, and similar recognitions: She was included in the Queen's Birthday Honours list.
