Bryn Hughes and Paul Bone have welcomed the new 'Elizabeth Emblem'
After years of campaigning, the fathers of two police officers murdered on duty have finally persuaded government officials to sanction a posthumous award for public servants killed in the line of duty.
He added: “It’s been nearly three years campaigning for me and for it finally to be announced, I think in one respect it’s humbling but overwhelming. Paul, 75, said: “I’m very pleased for all the police that have lost their lives in service that they’re now getting recognition by the state and for all the families involved it will be a privilege to get them.”Families will be able to apply for the emblem via gov.uk from Saturday, with nominations then reviewed by the George Cross Committee before recommendations are made to the King via the Prime Minister.
