British Empire Medals Investiture at Loseley House.

It was an honour for Suzanne and I to join the Lord Lieutenant at the magnificent Loseley House last week, where he presented eight residents of Surrey with British Empire Awards (BEM’s), on behalf of HM The King which were announced in the 2025 New Years Honours List.

The award is in recognition of their exemplary contribution to their community and the difference their efforts make to other people’s lives. We very much enjoyed listening to the individual citations, dictated by Vice Lord Lieutenant, Mary Cresswell and after posing for official photographs we had the opportunity to talk to the recipients and their proud families themselves. Congratulations all and I join the Lord Lieutenant in thanking you for your contributions.
