NEWS | Hero Paramedic Jeremy Daw one of 106 public servants who died in service that have been recognised with the Elizabeth Emblem

Paramedic Jeremy Daw one of 106 public servants who died in service that have been recognised with the Elizabeth Emblem.

Jeremy was sat in the passenger seat of an ambulance when a rock flew up from tyres into the windscreen.

The paramedic died when responding to a 999 call near Hereford in 2021.

106 police officers, firefighters, overseas workers and other public servants who died in service have been recognised with the Elizabeth Emblem.

The Elizabeth Emblem recognises the sacrifices made by public servants who have lost their lives as a result of their duty. It is the civilian equivalent of the Elizabeth Cross, which recognises members of the UK Armed Forces who died in action or as a result of a terrorist attack. 

Established last year, it is only the second ever list of Elizabeth Emblem recipients to be published. The next of kin are awarded the national form of recognition.

Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster, Pat McFadden, said: 

“We owe an enduring debt to the public servants who give their lives to protect others.

“The Elizabeth Emblem is a reminder not just of the ultimate price their loved ones have paid in service of our communities, it is a lasting symbol of our national gratitude for their incredible sacrifice.”

His Majesty has approved the awarding of the Elizabeth Emblem to the next-of-kin of the public servants listed below.
