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.

Silver jubilee medal was only given to a few whilst serving. It appeared to be a lucky dip at the time. Although I have seen a couple of people wearing them that I suspect were bought from a medal catalog.
Too difficult to do the work to ensure that all those who have served HM the Queen in excess of 5 years and now retired. OMG, and the expense.....it is a sad fact that in all probability this will not happen. As for a PCSO getting it, it makes me very angry...??????
Quite right, I am in total agreement John. Feet dragging most probably, maybe cost cutting by MOD. is a likely answer.
agree that all who have served should get one
22 years service,about 14 of the.m in far flung lands,is surely worth a little recognition.
10 years service as a regular serviceman but no medals at all. It would be a great honour to be able to show a "little something" for my years of service and to know that it has been officially recognised....
40 years services and no Jubilee Medals. It really goes to show how the country appreciates their Servicemen and Servicewoman. I suppose the money they saved was required to pay MP's expenses.
I agree with the above statement and as an alternate I concur with 'Chop Doc' and I have now twice made an AWARD Purchase knowing that monies will be given to specific charities. In 1977 I along with other members of my squadron were rostered for the display at Finningley for which we were to...
I agree that all who have served and didn't get issued with a Queens Commemorative Medal should be allowed to purchase their own and be allowed legally to wear when the occasion allows.
Absolutely correct. I served from 1959 until 1998 and received no Jubilee medals despite having more service than the majority of serving members. It would be nice to have some recognition of long and loyal service to Her Majesty apart from the now 'issued' LSGC.
