1959 New Year Honours


The New Year Honours 1959 were appointments in many of the Commonwealth realms of Queen Elizabeth II to various orders and honours to reward and highlight good works by citizens of those countries. They were announced on 30 December 1958 to celebrate the year passed and mark the beginning of 1959.
The recipients of honours are displayed here as they were styled before their new honour, and arranged by honour, with classes and then divisions as appropriate.
At this time, awards were still being made within the United Kingdom honours list on the advice of the premiers of Australian states. There was also a Australian honours list of awards made "on the advice of Her Majesty's Australian Ministers". The separate Australian honours system began in 1975.
