My male MC, who lives in modern-day London, was given a civilian medal for heroic deeds. Now he's attending a white-tie function, and I assume that he'd wear his medal---but would he wear the full medal or just the ribbon bar?
I tried Googling it, but all I could find was info on military medals and which uniforms they should be worn with. Can anyone help?
Also, I'm trying to figure out which medal he'd be more likely to receive: the George Cross or the George Medal. The situation is that he volunteered to test a vaccine against an alien fog that's killing people. He goes out into the fog and almost dies to prove that the vaccine works, thereby potentially saving millions of lives. It's not the first time he's done something heroic, so they finally decided to honor him. Any thoughts?
