Instigate a 2020 Queens Honours & Awards list to recognise our COVID-19 heroes
For the Nation to recognise and celebrate the outstanding professionalism, dedication and commitment of our NHS, other Emergency Services, Armed Forces, Retail Services, Scientists, Engineers, Food Producers and volunteers in fighting the COVID-19 pandemic and keeping the country going.
Instead of the Queens Honours & Awards being used to reward Celebrities, Sportspeople and Politicians, use the 2020 New Years Honour list to reward those people who have been the heroes of the COVID-19 pandemic. The British people should have the opportunity to recognise those individuals who have made a difference and unselfishly helped others, even putting their own lives on the line.
