  VICTORIA CROSS CEREMONY REPORT
  

  The Times published a report on the recent ceremony for the
  150th anniversary of The Victoria Cross and George Cross medals:
  

  "The service and the reception at St James’s Square were attended
  by 8 of the surviving holders of the VC and 22 of the 24 surviving
  holders of the GC. They were joined by the Prince of Wales and the
  Duchess of Cornwall and families of medal holders who had died or
  been killed in action.
  

  Most holders wore suits and some came in wheelchairs, including
  Captain Peter Norton, GC, who lost a leg and an arm in an explosion
  near Baghdad last year.
  

  “Circumstances may change, technology may change, but the capacity
  for some very rare human beings to act in an utterly exceptional
  and selfless way remains unchanged by the passage of time,” he said
  in an address to the 1,600 guests."
