The Prime Minister has thanked Olympics volunteers, members of the Armed Forces, police and others who made the Games possible, describing them as 'the very best of Britain.' After the Paralympic Games concludes, the Government will issue those members of the Armed Forces and the Police involved with a commemorative coin to thank them for delivering a safe and secure Olympic Games. It will also look at whether other groups should be included.
In addition to the 70,000 commemorative batons being given to Games Makers by LOCOG, the Department for Culture Media and Sport will also give the same baton to the other 18,000 volunteers who worked as London and UK ambassadors and as additional support at airports and train stations.
