Petition Reform the honours system, so that knighthoods can be awarded posthumously

Recognise the contributions made by UK citizens whether alive or dead. This might encourage people to believe in themselves, whatever their class or race.

More details

Awards to deceased individuals can only be given for acts of gallantry. Any individuals which had recognisable lifetime efforts should be able to be awarded with posthumous knighthoods, to recognise their efforts.

About petition data

The data shows the number of people who have signed the petition by country as well as in the constituency of each Member of Parliament. This data is available for all petitions on the site. It is not a list of people who have signed the petition. The only name that is shared on the site is that of the petition creator.
