This page covers the various UK Honours list (I.e. the various lists where the honours are announced). You can find general information on Honors here.

Most UK honors are granted as part of an Honors List. The two main honors lists each year are the New Years Honors and Birthday Honours. The honours Lists are printed in The London Gazette, and usually appear online at 10:30 PM, with the list being officially published the next day. 

The honours are usually presented at one of the Group Investiture Ceremonies each year.
