Members of Isle of Man Ambulance Service have been presented with the King’s Coronation Medals by the Lieutenant Governor.
Eleven front-line IMAS colleagues and one volunteer community first responder received medals at the ceremony.
The badges are issued in recognition of the long-time, unwavering commitment that IMAS colleagues have dedicated to the island.
Kings Coronation Medals
The UK has issued approximately 400,000 coronation medals, awarded to individuals who contributed to the coronation, recipients of the UK’s highest honours, select British military personnel, frontline emergency workers, and public prison service staff with at least five years of service.
The last medal presentation of this kind was made for Queen Elizabeth II’s Platinum Jubilee in 2022.
Head of Ambulance Services, Will Bellamy, said: “Once again, I feel privileged to have been joined by The Lieutenant Governor to issue these one-in-a-lifetime Coronation medals to members of my team.
“It is an honour to take some time out and reflect on the dedicated service that we provide to the island’s Community on a 24-hour basis, 365 days a year.
Head of Ambulance Services, Will Bellamy.
“I am incredibly proud of all that IMAS do and am extremely lucky to be able to lead such a committed and driven workforce.”
