This medal should be awarded to current and PAST serving service members
The medal is currently planned to be awarded to all serving members of the armed and civil services who have complete 5 years service. Given that most retired members have provided service to Her Majesty in the last 60 years in a variety of locations and conflicts it seems illogical that we are being ignored. A PCSO having done 5 years on the beat qualifies whilst a long service member of the armed forces who might have seen service in the Falklands, Bosnia and Iraq will be ignored. Retired and serving members (who had not served 5 years) did not receive either the silver or golden anniversary medals. Surely on this unique occasion an exception could be made.

I agree with the various statements, all ex service personnel should be able to wear the jubilee medals,
I don't understand why Cadet force [ATC, ACF, Sea Cadets, CCF] officers all get the three medals when the bulk of them have only worn the uniform in cadet service yet many of the Civilian instructors in those units are frequently ex service men/w and don't qualify. Even if you needed to buy them...
Can someone please explain why service personnel and retired people can wear jubilee medals alongside campaign medals. but when a jubilee medal is termed as commemorative it can only be worn on the right side. I served queen and country for 43 years, including when all the jubilee medals were...
I think that anyone who receives one of these Jubilee medals should sign that they would not dispose of them in any way. I felt insulted that any Tom Dick and Harry who had done time at the right time to qualify, then sold them on eBay. That is insulting to those of us who gave many years service,...
