Members of the Bowland Pennine Mountain Rescue Team have received their Queen’s Platinum Jubilee medals.
Thirty-eight Operational Team members gathered at our Headquarters at Smelt Mill in the Trough of Bowland to receive their medals from His Grace, the Duke of Westminster.
Team Chairman David Matthews and Team Leader Kevin Camplin welcomed the Duke, Hugh Richard Louis Grosvenor, who joined the team in a minute silence in honour of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II.
His Grace then spoke of Her Majesty the Queen Elizabeth II recognising her strengths and the recognition towards the volunteer sector.
After the presentation, His Grace received a framed photo of the rescue team in operational action as a thank you,
More than 1,700 Mountain Rescue volunteers from Mountain Rescue England and Wales were among the frontline emergency, armed forces and prison service workers across the UK who are recipients of the Jubilee Medal in celebration of Her Majesty The Queen's Platinum Jubilee.
