  1. Why do people continue to spread this fake rule? It just is not true. This isn't the US or a MoH winner, we don't do this in the UK.

  2.  @mitzyismad  - Aah, my fault, I'd forgotten to activate my 'metaphorical speech' detector. I've rectified that now so crack on.

  3. That's not true. But I keep hearing it being repeated, usually by people who 'heard it somewhere' but can't remember where. It's not in Queens Regs. In the US that rule applies to the Medal of Honour but does not apply to the UK and the VC.

  4.  @benbim540  - it really is not a 'tradition'. It's a very modern invention. I asked Bill Speakman VC that very question only 20yrs ago and he said he'd never heard of such a thing. I'll take his word over a million non attributable YT comments. This isn't meant as a dig at you mate I just don't like the 'Americanisation' of our actual traditions.

  6. Not to spoil your party but I much prefer my own Mum to Lizzie.
