My understanding is that if your a serving officer (with 5 years service) on Saturday, you’ll qualify. Regardless of if your on leave or at the parade or not 👍. 

That is correct

Miniature version is available, already!!!

 

Looking forward to seeing it, mounted in groups.

I think, it does look rather nice.

I would like to get a boxed Platinum Jub for the queen and a cornantion medal but they are hard to find here in the US.  I have the issued one before the Platinum Jub. Any suggestions?

Look on eBay or similar on line auction sites. There are several platinum versions on there now. As soon as the Coronation medal is issued they too will begin to appear for sale, again on auction sites. Best of luck.

Whilst we await, a mounted Coronation medal medal group. We’ll have to make do with this impressive set of ribbons 👍.

Out of interest, does anyone know the correct way around to wearing them? For example if you had a 2022 Jubilee medal and (soon) a Kings Coronation medal, which ribbon goes nearest your heart and which nearest your shoulder?

Platinum Jubilee nearest your heart, Coronation Medal nearest your shoulder.

Correct. Put simply:

 

Orders and decorations in order of precedence.

Military Active Service (may be UK, UN or NATO) in order of award.

Royal Commemoratives in date order, oldest first.

Long service medals (military, then emergency service).

Surrey Police have just posted this on their weekly Routine Orders: -

3. King’s Coronation Medal update

The Home Office has provided a further update regarding the distribution of Coronation Medals. Over 450,000 medals are being produced and distributed across all emergency services and relevant departments. We have been advised the Surrey Police and Sussex Police allocation will be delivered in the month of June.

Provided there is no amendment to this date, both forces will plan their forcewide distribution sessions starting in July 2024, with specific details communicated nearer the time.

Medal eligibility for warranted Officers, special constables and PCSOs, is to be in service and completed five full years’ service on 6 May 2023.

The force will also recognise staff who are in service and have completed over five years’ service on the 6 May 2023, with a commemorative coin. Forcewide distribution plans for this will be communicated once we take delivery of the coins.
