Celebrating 60 years of The Duke of Edinbugh’s Award
Friday 17th February 2017Towards the end of 2016 we were represented at both St James’s Palace, for the Gold Award Presentation and at Westminster Abbey for the Service of Thanksgiving, celebrating 60 years of The Duke of Edinburgh’s Award.
Special thanks was noted from HRH The Duke of Edinburgh to our organisation for being one of the first initial organisations to support the award, and we were delighted to receive a special plaque to thank us for 60 successful years of partnership. As well as having 47 recipients of the Gold award in 2016 there were also two Long Service Awards, presented to David Briscoe, 10th Wolverhampton for 50 years’ service and to Ian Sharp, 6th Wolverhampton for 30 years’ service. Both David and Ian are Battalion Ambassadors of the award and we congratulate and thank them for such service delivering DofE within our organisation.
