1953 Coronation Honours (Ceylon)

The 1953 Coronation Honours for Ceylon were announced on June 1, 1953, to mark the coronation of Queen Elizabeth II. The honours were awarded by the Queen in recognition of distinguished service to Ceylon (now Sri Lanka), a dominion within the British Commonwealth at the time. The list included individuals from various sectors of Ceylonese society, recognizing contributions to public service, arts, sciences, and other fields. Specific details about the recipients and their citations would have been published in the London Gazette and the Ceylon Government Gazette. The honours bestowed would have included knighthoods, appointments to the Order of the British Empire (OBE, MBE, CBE), and other awards within the British honours system.
