The medal awarded to the NHS following the pandemic to recognise the heroism of staff is going on tour - and will be going on display in Manchester.
The country's health service was awarded the George Cross, the UK's highest civilian gallantry medal, by the late Queen. Buckingham Palace said it wanted to honour the “courage, compassion and dedication” of NHS staff and volunteers, during the pandemic as well as the work of the NHS since it was established in 1948.
It was only the third time ever in British history the medal has been granted to an organisation.
