La honours list se hace pública en el día de Año Nuevo (“New Year's Honours”) y en el día del cumpleaños de la reina (“the Birthday Honours”). Las distinciones van desde ser nombrado miembro vitalicio de la Cámara de los Lores a títulos de menor importancia. Muchas de las condecoraciones que se confieren son rangos dentro de las órdenes de caballería, como, por ejemplo, la de la Orden del Imperio Británico. El primer ministro británico debe dar su consentimiento a la relación definitiva de los candidatos a las distinciones.
