Those who give tirelessly to their community only receive the lower honours. The hierarchy gives the higher awards to the rich/famous/long term top civil servant/exMPs whilst the plebs get the lower awards no matter how deserving they might be.
And to add insult to injury the Lords and Dames get £300 a day just for signing in at the House of Lords.
We can continue to honour people but let's do away with the hierarchy and the automatic awards. It's nice to recognise achievements. Why not a different system? Awards of equal standing for sport, entertainment, science, community work etc. But only those who give their time freely for the benefit of others actually gets the visit to Buck House and a chat with Liz.
