A grandfather who thought he was the victim of a scam after being told he was receiving a British Empire Medal has said he feels 'privileged' after being invited to King Charles's coronation
A grandfather who thought he was the victim of a scam after being told he was receiving a British Empire Medal has said he feels "privileged" after being invited to King Charles's coronation.
He said: "It's quite a privilege because I won't see another one and I've never seen one. There's a lot more higher up people than me, film stars, lords and ladies... to be asked is quite an honour." "My son-in-law, who's a police officer, had a look at it and made a few calls and he said it was right enough. It was very out of the blue as well."
Mr Anderson was also awarded the Queen's Fire Service Medal back in 2000, an accolade he said he was "shocked" and "chuffed" to receive.
