Days after receiving posthumous honors from King Charles for the men, the sons of two police officers who were killed demanded that the UK governmenti honor their bravery. At Windsor Castle last week, 30 hero emergency personnel received the first-ever Elizabeth Emblem, including Detective Sgt. Ross Hunt and Constable George Taylor.
Although they appreciated the long-awaited recognition, George’s 56-year-old son David Taylor and his 52-year-old brother Paul, as well as Ross’s 64-year-old son Philip Hunt and his 60-year-old brother Adrian, want the government to immediately honor
They are vying for the Queen’s Gallantry Medal, the George Medal, or the Queen’s Commendation for Bravery, all of which have been denied in the past due to a time limit.
According to the government, a five-year restriction is based on the idea that officials were in a better position to choose medal recipients at that time. The King informed them that the Emblem award was long overdue, according to Philip, a resident of Cheshire. “It increased our motivation to keep working until we do receive that last recognition,” he remarked.
