Steve Neville presented himself at Buckingham

Palace to receive the OBE for services to Charity.

He is pictured here outside the palace with his

wife Linda.

William Hackett was presented with Letters

Patent by Lord Lyon King granting him Scottish

Arms by the Lyon Clerk, Snawdoun Herald

Elizabeth Roads MVO at the Lyon Court in

Edinburgh.

The coat is taken from an existing Irish coat but

has been differenced with the livery being Vert

and Argent and the Chief, to reflect his Fire

Service in London, has two fireman's axes in

saltire proper. The Crest has been differenced

from his family in Ireland by showing the double

headed eagle emerging from a flaming tower -

this represents London Burning. This coat is

probably quite unique in fire service history. It

also grants William Esquire status and he can

wear one Eagle feather in his bonnet. The

Pennon has also been granted to him and the

Motto in Gaelic “Dilseacht” translates to Loyalty.

Alan Wells has volunteered to abseil the Lloyd’s

Building on Tuesday 19th June at one of the

official events in aid of The Lord Mayor’s Appeal

2012 -

.

Alan is keen to raise as much money as possible

by undertaking this death defying, heart stopping,

exhilarating, some might say foolhardy, 289ft

descent of the outside of the building and

reckons it deserves ‘sterling’ support and some

safe hands with a jump net on the day.

Charitable donations that will receive gift aid

allowance and go directly to The Lord Mayor’s

Appeal 2012, can be made via Alan’s ‘Just Giving’

account

Alternatively, please make a cheque payable to

‘The Lord Mayor’s Appeal 2012’ and post it to

his home address at 3 Northumberland Avenue,

Kennington, Ashford, Kent TN24 9QG. Alan

thanks you very much for any support you can

give.
