Eight pallbearers who carried the Queen's coffin at funeral are awarded Royal Victorian Medal

Quick Summary

The soldiers were named as recipients of honours under the Royal Victorian Order (RVO) in recognition of their service to the Queen, as part of a special set of Demise awards.

The soldiers carried the coffin draped in the Royal Standard as millions of people around the world watched the ceremony last September.

The band of brothers were expertly guided throughout by Company Sergeant Major Dean Jones, an instructor at The Royal Military Academy Sandhurst, where Prince Harry trained to be an officer.
