Instituted in 1917 by George V, the awards were created during World War I to reward services to the war effort by people not on the front line. Perhaps the most well-known awards are classes of appointment to the Order of the British Empire. Different awards are received depending on an individual's achievements. Honours are announced and awarded twice a year by His Majesty The King, with lists consisting of knights and dames, appointments to the Order of the British Empire, and gallantry and bravery awards. The British honours system rewards individuals with Honours, Decorations and Medals in public recognition of their merit, service or bravery. Here we look at the different ranks of the Order of the British Empire, as well as some of their most famous recipients.
