The GC has been given as a collective award on just two previous occasions: In 1942, it was awarded to the island of Malta for the “heroism and devotion of its people” during the Siege of Malta in WWII. The Cross was added to the Maltese flag in 1943 and remains there today. https://t.co/rDmBH6rwqg — PolitiTweet.org

The George Cross was instituted in 1940 by King George VI for “acts of the greatest heroism or of the most courage in circumstances of extreme danger”. It is the UK's highest award for non-military courage. This award recognises all NHS staff, past and present. https://t.co/Vysb7ZOJIe — PolitiTweet.org
