The medal was awarded to members of the civilian emergency services, such as the RNLI, who had completed five years of continuous service, and were in service at the time of the coronation.
These were presented to 4,500 frontline RNLI volunteers and staff, with those at Newbiggin RNLI receiving eight in total.
Mr Henderson said: “This is another milestone for the volunteer team here at Newbiggin and we would like to thank deputy lieutenant, Mr Green, for coming along to make this presentation so special.”
