Three people on the Island were honoured with Royal Victorian Order medals during the Queen's visit to Bermuda last month.

Governor Sir Richard Gozney, Secretary to the Cabinet Major Marc Telemaque, and Private Secretary to the Governor Tanya Davis each received the rewards from the Queen for personal service to her.

The awards are commonly given after a State visit, with the Queen recognising those who have done exceptional work for her.

Mr. Telemaque was honoured with an LVO (Lieutenant of the Royal Victorian Order), while Ms Davis was awarded an MVO (Member of the Royal Victorian Order).

Sir Richard was honoured with a CVO, or Commander of the Royal Victorian Order.

All three were given the awards personally by the Queen at a private ceremony in Government House.
