Topic: The British Honours System

We are delighted to welcome Ashley Jones MBE, who will be speaking to us about The British Honours System. Drawing on both his own experience as an honours recipient and his extensive research into the subject, Ashley will guide us through the fascinating history and traditions behind one of Britain's oldest forms of public recognition. From MBEs and OBEs to knighthoods and other distinguished awards, he will explain how the honours system works, who can be nominated, and the remarkable achievements and service that these honours are designed to celebrate. Promising both insight and engaging stories, this talk offers a unique glimpse into an important part of British national life.
