STORY: Britain's Queen hosted a reception at Buckingham Palace on Tuesday (October 28) for members of the Victoria Cross and George Cross Association.

The event marked the second of three engagements for the Association's bi-annual reunion in London.

On Monday (October 27) Prince Charles, the Prince of Wales, hosted an afternoon tea for the association at Clarence House.

The Victoria Cross was instituted by Queen Victoria in 1856 and is awarded to those serving in British and Commonwealth Forces who have shown most conspicuous bravery.

The Association has 30 members of which 23 are expected to attend the events this week in London, together with the widows and families of past members.
