The Most Excellent Order of the British Empire is a British order of chivalry established on 4 June 1917 by King George V. The Order includes five classes in civil and military divisions; in decreasing order of seniority, these are
Knight Grand Cross or Dame Grand Cross (GBE)
Knight Commander or Dame Commander (KBE or DBE)
Commander (CBE)
Officer (OBE)
Member (MBE)
Only the two highest ranks entail admission into knighthood allowing the receiver to use the title 'Sir' (male) or 'Dame' (female) before one's name, such as Sir Clive Woodward who is a KBE.
There is also a related British Empire Medal, whose recipients are not members of the Order, but who are nonetheless affiliated with the Order. This medal is no longer conferred in the United Kingdom, but is still used in some overseas territories and Commonwealth nations.
The Order's motto is For God and the Empire. It is the most junior of the British orders of chivalry and has more members than any other.

================================
I might be wrong, but I think most of those orders are given "on advice" of the Prime Minister whereas Honours such as the "Order of the Thistle" are, I think, solely in Her Majesty's discretion.
