History
At a Council meeting on 11 July 1978, attendees were informed that Her Majesty had given her approval to the proposed award of the Queen's badge and had also expressed the wish that if the award was to be called 'The Queen's Badge of Honour' these words should be incorporated into the design of the new badge. At the same meeting the Council approved the design on these lines for a badge which would be executed in silver-gilt. It was noted that H.M The Queen Mother as Deputy President had agreed to sign the new certificates.
The Queen's Badge of Honour was awarded to any person by the Council of the Society, with the approval of the President, for exceptional service of the highest order to the Society or to the International Red Cross Movement. This award is accompanied by a certificate, signed by the Deputy President of the Society conferring Life Membership on the recipient of the Badge. The award is limited to thirty holders at any one time.
