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 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.
I agree with this 100% I feel the we all should receive a little thank you for what we did and this would be a nice way to do it.
agree , we are the forgotten one's so yes,
I do agree 100%. but I and many more have been forgotten for so long,we hear of the falklands,the gulf,iraq,as you see above,even the two great wars(if there is such a thing as a great war,,but I and so many others served in aden,the forgotten war,,no one ever seems to remember that,or the lads...
It does not make any sense to me. Past and present service men and women should be treated as equals, after all we served to keep the country safe and should be recognized for that reason.

A pcso should not be given this medal as not active service I did twelve years no medals ,it’s the principle not the medal.
I was in the navy from 1956 to 1966 I did not receive any medals from any sorts m.o.d does not want to know full stop
I joined ,the RAF 7 9 66, and left 3 2. 90? One of each rank got the Queens silver jubilee medal by having their name pulled out of a hat I would like to know how some people wear them who never served ot am l been picky

I THINK I have mentioned this before.If a person served in a particular place or campaign why should they not be allowed to wear their medals purchased or otherwise on parade with the British Legion.After all because it was not published in the London Gazzette should not bar them from wearing such...
