The local Rev Jesse V. for Woolwich is petitioning The Ministry of Defence H.Q for the 3 ladies to receive the award.
On 22 May, a lady and her daughter comforted Fusilier Lee Rigby whilst he was lying on the road and the other brave lady, spoke to his murderers in trying to stop them harming anyone else, also to try and calm them down.
The Rev Jesse V. proposes that these women, all civilians receive the George Medal for their bravery and actions in preventing further loss of life and what they did for Mr. Rigby. I received an email about it today.
Should anyone wish to support this and sign the petition please see:

I am on my phone and not easy to do the proper link.
Thanks
