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.

Those of us who have served through Queen Elizabeth 11 reign should receive any of the medals produced for any of the anniversaries.
Totally agree I think that all who served in a UK military form deserves the silver and golden medals .
Hopefully with this government, they will honour the Veterans who served their country with great honour

Joined RN in 1963 and did 25 years man and boy. All service people should receive ALL of the Queens medals if they were serving. Not just a select few. Cost again?? We never considered the cost when we signed up.
