Gibraltar Medallion of Honour

The Gibraltar Medallion of Honour (GMH) is a civil award scheme established by the Government of the British overseas territory of Gibraltar.

Its creation was announced in July 2008 by Chief Minister of Gibraltar, Peter Caruana.

[3][2][4][5] Once approved by Parliament, the awards are officially announced by the Mayor of Gibraltar prior to the symbolic release of the red and white balloons on Gibraltar National Day.
