Breaking news - 5 years service OR on the parade.

Thought this might be of interest… https://news.oxfordshire.gov.uk/heroic- ... -honoured/ Oxfordshire’s Lord Lieutenant, Mrs Marjorie Glasgow BEM, attended the prestigious event to present ‘Her Majesty, The Queen’s Long Service and Good Conduct’ medals to eleven firefighters, each for 20 years’ service. The Queen’s medal title has been retained this year, even though King Charles III is the new monarch – this is due to the individuals achieving their 20 years’ service in the reign of Queen Elizabeth II and in line with the royal warrant.

MOD FOI request, confirmed that as of the 3rd April 2023 - Medal (ER II Effigy) Stock Held Long Service & Good Conduct Medal 39 for the MOD Police. Long Service & Good Conduct Medal 57 for the Defence Fire & Rescue Service. https://www.whatdotheyknow.com/request/ ... O.pdf.html Of particular note is this - To answer your third question, I can confirm that no information is held determining a policy for when those qualifying personnel will attract award of the 'old' or 'new' style of medal. To answer your fourth question, I can confirm that no information is held on the timeline for procurement or issue of new LSGC medals at present. To answer your fifth question, I can confirm that no Information is held as no designs have been approved by His Majesty as yet. As the Royal Mint have not been excepting orders for new medals for pushing 6 months now. It appears that not only do we have no formal answer as to when C111R medals will be released, but no concrete confirmation as to when or if E11R examples ceased to be. Which has sort of left us in a void. Certainly something that further generations of medal collectors will ponder 🤔 😂…

News just in… Doesn’t appear that there are substantial “stocks” of military LSGC’s. Can only assume that the same is true for the emergency services. However, the following might be of further interest?

Nice 30 year bar group to the fire service. (mounted by Mckay’s Medals and Kilts)

Looks like the Daily Express, have jumped on the band wagon as well now… https://www.express.co.uk/news/royal/1761756/king-charles-funding-row-coronation-medals-army-police?fbclid=IwAR0nIz3iRo0u5nqTlyKYPot8UgldNvTZ_-rgWFY6-DNy4IgVDxljGCQ0JU0

Yeoman Warders, modelling their new uniforms 👍👍

It certainly is a very interesting subject! I assume the same situation, played out with regards the allocation of silver jubilee medals? One thing that does seem unusual, is the fact that with 2 weeks to go, the powers that be would have us believe that no medal or indeed ribbon has been confirmed, surely something like this would have been created/decided upon years ago?? Also why there is such uncertainty as to the criteria, again it’s not like they didn’t know this event would happen at some point?

Now that a crowned effigy has been released, will be interesting to see if regular police LSGC’s use it and Specials continue with the uncrowned version.

Very interesting, thanks for sharing 👍.

Not seen any other police examples. But here’s one to the Fire Service. https://www.forres-gazette.co.uk/news/fire-chief-s-decades-in-service-honoured-300836/

Gold sovereigns, from the house of Windsor…

Row over bid to limit Coronation medals: King Charles 'furious' that some members of the Armed Forces and police may miss out on commemorative honours…. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/royals/article-12003257/amp/Row-bid-limit-Coronation-medals-King-Charles-furious-miss-out.html (*It’s Daily Mail granted…..)

Rumour has it that the ribbon has now been confirmed, and limited lengths of it, have been released to selected tailors?

😂😂😂😂

My thoughts exactly!!!! I understand that this BEM was presented to an old boy, for services to charity. Something along those lines anyway? It was presented to him a few weeks ago now, by all accounts. So with a bit of luck we’ll start seeing more over the coming weeks. Will be interesting to see if the KPM and LSGC’s will start to be issued in time for them to be worn on Coronation day.

First C111R medal 👍👍👍 Could LSGC’s be on there way?

The relief is palatable, glad to hear this has finally been confirmed!!! https://amp.theguardian.com/uk-news/2023/apr/17/king-charles-camilla-coronation-quiche-signature-dish

Appears, they’ll be at least 6000, assuming all those present, are to be awarded one? https://www.independent.co.uk/news/charles-iii-ap-british-london-harry-b2320602.html?amp

Re Coronation Medal, I suspect this will include an effigy of the new Queen. With regards to LSGC’s, it will be interesting to see, if all now bear a crowned or uncrowned effigy? Perhaps the plan all along has been to wait until the crowned effigy has confirmed/released, before any new medals were struck? This would certainly account for the current delay?

Would be interested to learn, what happened in 1931, that led to the change from crowned to uncrowned effigy? Also why ever since Special medals have been uncrowned? Can we also expect to see the same uncrowned effigy on the next generation of SCLSM’s?
