RAF High Wycombe shared the news on social media of Sergeant Ivory's honor.
In the surroundings of Penn House, Amersham, RAF High Wycombe's Sergeant Ivory was invested with the British Empire Medal (BEM). The ceremony was presided over by the current HM Lord-Lieutenant of Buckinghamshire, Countess Howe, assisted by HM Vice Lord-Lieutenant Sir Francis Hapgood.
Sergeant Ivory received his medal for over thirty years’ service as Honorary Treasurer to the local branch of the Soldiers’, Sailors’ and Airmen’s Families Association.
Also in attendance were Squadron Leader Gilmore as well as the RAF High Wycombe Station Commander, Wing Commander Dennis.
Sgt Ivory commented, “It was awe inspiring. Just to hear the other citations as well was very humbling. The best part of the day was sharing it with my wife, Tracy. It was nice for her to get some recognition. Although my role with SSAFA is voluntary, she has had to make allowances whilst I worked during many a weekend on Treasurer business.”
