Owen Lawrence kindly sent this photograph of himself (left) and the NMBVA Chairman Ian Hone proudly wearing their PJMs at a Buckingham Palace garden party in mid-July (weather looked OK ... dry!).

I very much hope that the PJMs were spotted by their hosts because I have it on very good authority that the sight of our medal being worn by British Malaya-Borneo veterans in the Queen's London home would be welcomed by everyone there (her Bodyguard of the Yeoman of the Guard has permission to apply for the medal - and they will wear it). If Her Majesty had been given the correct background information at the time, we are certain that she would have given permission for it to be both accepted and worn.

Anyway ... let's not politik at Buckingham Palace. Enjoy this brilliant photograph. And my thanks to Owen for sending it to us.
