British royal recognitions From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The New Year Honours 1983 were appointments by most of the Commonwealth realms of Queen Elizabeth II to various orders and honours to reward and highlight good works by citizens of those countries, and honorary ones to citizens of other countries. They were announced on 31 December 1982 to celebrate the year passed and mark the beginning of 1983 in the United Kingdom,[1] Australia,[2] New Zealand and Cook Islands,[3] the Bahamas,[4] Fiji,[5] Papua New Guinea,[6] Solomon Islands,[7] Tuvalu,[8] St. Lucia,[9] St. Vincent & Grenadines,[10] and Antigua & Barbuda.[11]
The recipients of honours are displayed here as they were styled before their new honour, and arranged by honour, with classes (Knight, Knight Grand Cross, etc.) and then divisions (Military, Civil, etc.) as appropriate.
At this time the two lowest classes of the Royal Victorian Order were "Member (fourth class)" and "Member (fifth class)", both with post-nominal letters MVO. "Member (fourth class)" was renamed "Lieutenant" (LVO) from the 1985 New Year Honours onwards.
