His Majesty’s Lord-Lieutenant of Dyfed, Miss Sara Edwards, presented three Pembrokeshire recipients of the British Empire Medal (BEM) with their insignia recently at a ceremony at County Hall in Haverfordwest.
The Lord-Lieutenant was assisted by Lord-Lieutenant Cadet Maisie Millichip and the recipients were welcomed and congratulated by the Chairman of Pembrokeshire County Council, Cllr Pat Davies.
The BEM is awarded for meritorious civil or military service worthy of recognition by the Crown. It rewards a sustained, local contribution or innovative, high-impact work.
The recipients were Rose Blackburn BEM of Pembroke, Mandy Davies BEM of Hundleton and Suzanne Tarrant BEM of Narberth. Their honours were announced in the Queen’s Birthday Honours 2022.
In addition, His Majesty’s Lord-Lieutenant presented a Queen’s RVS Platinum Jubilee Medal to Mary Adams of Narberth. The award celebrates the generosity and dedication of volunteers who do extraordinary things every day.
His Majesty’s Lord-Lieutenant of Dyfed, Miss Sara Edwards, said:
“It is an enormous pleasure to see these deserving recipients receive their honours, and it gives us in the community the opportunity to thank them for the work that they have done and continue to do.
“My most sincere congratulations to them all”
The ceremony was also attended by the Leader of Pembrokeshire County Council, Cllr David Simpson, who expressed his congratulations to all the recipients.
