Station Commander Wing Commander Penny Brady and Commandant of The Defence School of Aeronautical Engineering (DSAE) Group Captain Cameron Gibb presented personnel with their Coronation medals on Wednesday 27th March 2024.
The Coronation Medal 2023 (CM23) is a commemorative medal to mark the Coronation of King Charles III and Queen Camilla on 6th May 2023.
Commemorative medals are awarded to those eligible personnel who are in effective service in the Armed Forces or Front-Line Emergency Services on a specific date that marks a specific occasion and meet specific qualifying criteria. However, some courses of apprentices who were directly involved and contributed to Coronation duties or events have already been presented with their medals during their graduations from resident units within RAF Cosford.
