Anthony Carl Gibson - Member of The Victorian Order! Well Done Tony!!

Описание: Subscribers to my channel will have followed GSM Tony Gibson for the last 2 years on my channel. I first met Tony at the rehearsal for HM Queen Elizabeth's 6th Opening of The Scottish Parliament in August 2021 and we have been friends ever since.

I recognised the large part Tony played in HM Queen Elizabeth's Edinburgh funeral arrangements as well as organising Royal Week 2021, and personally put him forward for a commendation.

It was fantastic to wake up this morning and see on Tony's twitter feed that he has been awarded the membership of The Victorian Order by King Charles III for the huge part he played in the arrangements for HM Queen Elizabeth's last movements in Scotland after her sad passing in September 2022.

Well done Tony!!

Ahead of his Coronation on 6 May 23, His Majesty King Charles has bestowed a rare set of honours upon those who held important roles during the preparations and funeral of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II.

Known as the Honours List on The Demise of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, the list of promotions and appointments to the Royal Victorian Order is published in the London Gazette on 25 March 2023 and includes both civilians and serving personnel.

Personnel from across the Armed Forces played a key role in the funeral and preceding days of Her Majesty lying at rest in Scotland and London, providing the Guard of Honour, Bearer Party, Pall Bearers, musicians, horsemen and women, and countless personnel behind the scenes from all ranks and roles.

I am hugely grateful to the amazing team that I have the privilege of leading at Household Division Bands for their support and guidance throughout the preparation and delivery of Op London Bridge.

The State Funeral of Her Majesty at Westminster Abbey saw soldiers, sailors and airmen, both long-served and fresh out of training give one last act of love and dedication to their late Commander in Chief. It was a role the Armed Forces had prepared for over many years.
