The medals are being issued across the service to mark the Queen’s platinum jubilee this year, celebrating 70 years since Queen Elizabeth II came to the throne.

A Derbyshire Fire & Rescue Service spokeswoman said: “They are issued to all operational personnel – firefighters only – who have completed five or more years’ public service.”
