MEMBERS of Dales mountain rescue team Cave Rescue Organisation recently got together to celebrate the receiving of King's Coronation Medals.
44 members of the Clapham-based team received one of the medals that were awarded to eligible members of the armed forces and emergency services, including mountain rescue teams, as well as those who contributed to coronation events.
The evening was hosted by CRO chair and medals were presented by the organisation's president, Ben Lyon.
A spokesperson for CRO said: "We’d like to thank Ben for his continued support of the team and we’d also like to thank our support members and our families for everything they do to ensure that we are able to be available 24/7 throughout the year."
The event was also an opportunity for team members and their families to socialise and catch-up with each other.
So far this year, the team has responded to 45 calls.
