Sorry, but I disagree with the whole idea, another outmoded military award ceremony, simply earned off the backs of others and often at their detriment for simply for doing their jobs, with a token junior rank thrown in to make it look like it's not.
The same goes for the Civil side with much back patting amongst Company directors while the few token awards are thrown in for mrs X the postie with 39 years service... Those in athletics that get knighthoods for simply winning a race is a farce. Well that's my view, totally outmoded in the world we live in.
