Thursday 1st May 2025
The King, Patron, The VC and GC Association, accompanied by the Queen and the Prince of Wales, President, will host a reception at Windsor Castle for members of the Victoria Cross and George Cross Association.
Their Majesties and His Royal Highness will join holders of the Victoria Cross and George Cross, for a formal group photograph in St George’s Hall, before spending time with the VC & GC holders, and members of their families, as well as representatives of posthumously awarded recipients, in the Grand Reception Room.
Founded in 1956, the VC & GC Association represents all living holders of the Victoria Cross and George Cross. The association aims to provide support to the living holders and their families, restore – and in some cases, create – graves and memorials associated with VC & GC holders, and educate the public on the two awards.
