The National Health Services of the United Kingdom have been awarded the George Cross by Her Majesty The Queen. The award comes in recognition of 73 years of dedicated service, including for the courageous efforts of healthcare workers across the country battling the pandemic.
The George Cross - the highest civilian gallantry award, equivalent to the Victoria Cross - has only been bestowed collectively twice before, and today marks the second time it has been awarded collectively by Queen Elizabeth II.
The George Cross was first bestowed collectively to the people of Malta on 15 April 1942 by King George VI and was granted to the Royal Ulster Constabulary (the fore-runner of the Police Service of Northern Ireland) on 23 November 1999. The people of Malta were collectively given this honour in recognition of their continuing and heroic struggle against repeated and continuous attacks during the Second World War, while the RUC’s award was for the collective and sustained bravery of police officers and their families. Just a small sample of the feedback we have received for our badge : Excellent, superb items, very sincere congratulations to the designer, and the seller for providing an iconic, historically unique work of art, a treasure, a tribute to those accorded the great honour by our late, Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. The quality is of the highest order, very highly recommended, happy to buy anytime. Many in my family, now departed, were long time NHS workers and would have loved such a tribute as this.
