My understanding was that medals appertaining to a deceased relative could be worn on the right breast on an appropriate occasion - ie remembrance ceremony, funeral, appropriate military function etc. This senior plod appears to be either ignorant of basic protocols or is a fantasist. I note that at least two of his other gongs are freebie Jubilee medals whilst the others appear to be a NI GSM and a long service Police award.
I’ve noticed a lot of the ‘medals’ dished out by Kuwait and Saudi are appearing upon Remembrance Day….wonder where I put mine ?
