The George Medal awarded to a former heavyweight boxer for helping to thwart an attempted kidnap of Princess Anne has sold for £50,000 at auction.

The govt should get the medal back for him and ensure whatever he needs financially is paid for and he is comfortable. If his family once he has gone can then decide to put it in auction if he so wishes.
Can't help thinking it would have been nice of someone had stepped in so at least the medal could have remained in his family...
