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.

You have my vote mate. Was at detention officer with the police when the diamond jubilee medal was handed out. Annoyed me that PCSO and prison officers got but we didn't. Did all they did and more but because the police think that police staff are second class citizens we got nothing. Should have...
