1976 Birthday Honours


The Queen's Birthday Honours 1976 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 published on 4 June 1976 for the United Kingdom, Australia, New Zealand, Mauritius, Fiji, the Bahamas, Grenada, and Papua New Guinea. These were the first Birthday Honours on the advice of Papua New Guinean Ministers for Papua New Guinea, as the nation had gained independence from Australia on 16 September 1975.
The recipients of honours are displayed here as they were styled before their new honours, and arranged by honour, with classes and then divisions as appropriate.
At this time honours for Australians were still being awarded in the UK honours on the advice of the premiers of Australian states, as well as in the new Australian honours system which had been established in the previous year.
At this time the two lowest classes of the Royal Victorian Order were "Member " and "Member ", both with post-nominals MVO. "Member " was renamed "Lieutenant" from the 1985 New Year Honours onwards.
