King’s Coronation Medals presented to Moffat MRT

Members of Moffat MRT were joined today by Merlin Dernie, Deputy Lieutenant of Dumfries in order to present team members with the King’s Coronation Medal.

The medals were issued as a ‘Thank You’ to eligible members of the Armed Forced and Emergency Services, including Mountain Rescue, as well as those who contributed to the coronation events.

The day of celebration saw team members and their families join together for the presentation ceremony followed by a social lunch.

Just to make sure we were all still awake after the day’s excitement, at 17:28 the team received a request for assistance from Police Scotland. Fortunately the incident was quickly resolved and MMRT were stood down en route.

MMRT are grateful for the time and commitment of each of our members and the support of their families and friends and are thrilled to be able to recognise their service with this event.
