"In every engagement that I have had with her she showed great compassion, humility and pure warmth.
Major Norton, chairman of the VC and GC Association, said: "In January 1983 I swore an oath of allegiance to Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, her heirs and successors; almost 40 years later, over 30 of which have been spent in uniform, I hold that allegiance still to be true."Being awarded the George Cross by her was the greatest of honours and it was subsequently a privilege and joy to have met her on so many occasions.
