The recognition will be in the form of an emblem for the next of kin to wear at their discretion, with a memorial scroll and miniature included. The Elizabeth Emblem is silver in colour and in the form of an oval. The obverse of the emblem shall bear the inscription “For A Life Given In Service” surrounded by a rosemary wreath, as a symbol of remembrance, and a Tudor Crown. The reverse of the emblem shall be inscribed upon with the name of the person for whom it is in memoriam.
We owe a great debt to those who give their lives in public service. Their next of kin will now be eligible to receive this recognition as a mark of the nation’s gratitude in the form of The Elizabeth Emblem.
]]>This week, the Government are making available a free portrait of His Majesty the King. Available to all public buildings, this portrait will hang in schools, police stations and local authorities, serving as a reminder of the country’s ultimate public service. I am sure the whole House will wish to join me in wishing His Majesty the King and Her Royal Highness the Princess of Wales very swift recoveries.
