National Honours are awards given by a country to recognize individuals for their exceptional contributions to society, culture, or public service. These honours can take various forms, such as medals, titles, or orders, and are often presented during formal ceremonies. They aim to celebrate achievements that enhance the nation's reputation and inspire others. Each country has its own system for awarding these honours, with specific criteria and categories. For example, in the United States, the Presidential Medal of Freedom is one of the highest civilian awards, while in the United Kingdom, the Order of the British Empire recognizes outstanding service in various fields.
