The 306 local heroes
The British Empire Medal is the most local honour there is, and 306 were awarded this year - to Dean Allen in Telford, Alison Brittle in Saddleworth, Campbell Best in Portadown, and hundreds more like them. For most, that short citation is the only public record of a lifetime of quiet service.
