The long journey from the horror of Britain's nuclear bomb to a poignant moment in an Oldham pub

14.07.2024 - 07:30 manchestereveningnews.co.uk

Later this month Terry Quinlan will return to his home town of Oldham and visit a pub. It will partially seal a quest to get what he deserves 66 years after he and thousands of others were exposed to potential mortal danger.

He will be presented with a medal by the Lord Lieutenant of Greater Manchester (on July 20). He had hoped to be presented with it by King Charles at Buckingham Palace - but the White Hart in Royton will suffice.

The ceremony at the pub that was once his local comes after decades of campaigning for recognition for Britain's Nuclear Test Veterans, of whom Terry, aged 84, is one.

The ribbon design for the medal includes white, yellow, black and red, with the lighter blue for the sky and ocean, representative of the Pacific.
