If all 8.000 who were entitled claimed the cross it might be a problem
... not necessarily. Given the two facts:

1. Unlikely to be 100% take up of "back issues".

2. BP Garden Parties have a head count of about 7000 .....

One lavish commemorative Garden P, then accord it the same status as (say) a Level 3 award, ie Royal Investiture.

Cos once the backlog is cleared, I hope we have considerably fewer Liz Crosses than Level 3s ......
