The Governor-General of St. Lucia, His Excellency Sir Emmanuel Neville Snack, hosted the Investiture of the Recipients of Her Majesty the Queen's Birthday Honours for June 2019 into the Order of Chivalry of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire. The Order of Chivalry was initially created to reward the efforts by the civilians and servicemen in support positions during World War I. Since its institution, Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II has made subsequent alterations to the statute of ordinances of the Order so that awards are now given to those who make distinguished and notable contributions to their country. Of the 11 recipients who were honoured under the Order of Chivalry of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire, eight individuals received their honours in St. Lucia, whilst three opted to receive their investiture in the United Kingdom. Prime Minister of St. Lucia Hon. Alan Shasne congratulated the awardees on receiving such a prestigious award. The investiture ceremony took place on Friday, November 15, 2019.
