2015 Birthday Honours

The 2015 Queen's Birthday Honours were appointments by some of the 16 Commonwealth realms of Queen Elizabeth II to various orders and honours to reward and highlight good works by citizens of those countries.

The Queen's Birthday Honours were announced on 1 June 2015 in New Zealand,[1] on 8 June in Australia,[2] and on 12 June in the United Kingdom,[3] in Grenada, Papua New Guinea, Solomon Islands, Tuvalu, Saint Lucia and Belize.

They are arranged by the country (in order of precedence) whose ministers advised the Queen on the appointments, then by honour with grades, i.e. Knight/Dame Grand Cross, Knight/Dame Commander etc., and then by divisions, i.e. Civil, Diplomatic and Military as appropriate.

Below are the individuals appointed by Elizabeth II in her right as Queen of the United Kingdom with honours within her own gift, and with the advice of the Government for other honours.
