The King announced that a new honour would be created in his name. His Majesty said: “Many and glorious are the deeds of gallantry done during these perilous but famous days. In order that they should be worthily and promptly recognised I have decided to create at once a new mark of honour for men and women in all walks of civilian life. “I propose to give my name to this new distinction, which will consist of the George Cross...and the George Medal for wider distribution.” The George Cross recognises acts of bravery carried out when not under enemy fire, and has been awarded to more than 400 recipients since its creation 80 years ago.
