Queen’s Honours in the South West

Government Office for the South West handles honours nominations relating to individuals in the South West.

Nominating someone for an honour

 

Anyone can nominate someone for an honour at any time of the year (although you can not nominate yourself!). If you know someone who is doing something which is outstanding why not nominate them? Nominations can be made through the Ceremonial Secretariat at the Cabinet Office or through GOSW's honours contacts (details below), who can also give you guidance.
