Honours lists are published twice a year at New Year and in mid-June on the date of The Queen’s official birthday. Honours lists contain a wide variety of people from different backgrounds, communities and organisations.
- Any member of the public may nominate a person for a National Honour – be it a friend, volunteer, co-worker etc. Multiple positive and representative citations increase the likelihood of a nominee being recognised. It is important that the outstanding contributions people are making in the County are acknowledged and in particular, the efforts made by those in the voluntary sector.
