The UK gives awards for good work on the King's birthday in June and at New Year. Famous people, government workers, and helpers can get awards.

When a Prime Minister leaves, they get awards called resignation honours. The King gives most awards. People can also nominate others for awards.
There are many honours like Knights, Dames, Order of the Bath, Order of St Michael and St George, and Order of the British Empire.
Honours are given at Buckingham Palace by the King, Prince of Wales, or Princess Royal. Some medals are given locally by lord-lieutenants.
Some say no to an honour because of "Empire". Honours can be taken back if someone does something bad. A special group decides this.
The honours system gives awards for bravery, like the King's Gallantry Medal, and for police, fire, and ambulance services. Each has special rules.
