in honour
pour célébrer


Explanation:
En anglais on utilise "in honour (of)" pour des situations dans lesquelles ont fait quelque chose "en l'honneur" d'une personne/d'un événement/d'une réussite, autrement dit pour célébrer ou fêter quelque chose.

"In honour of X's mariage" ;
"In honour of Y's promotion" ;
"In honour of Z'z retirement"...

Est-ce que cela vous aide ?

Bon courage,
