The Lord Mayor of Bradford, Coun Zafar Ali, hosted a special presentation of an Elizabeth Cross to the nephew of a Scottish soldier killed during the Cyprus Emergency in the 1950s.
John Bowman, who lives in Bingley, was presented with the award by Deputy Lieutenant Major Stan Hardy (Rtd) as part of a ceremony hosted in City Hall. Mr Bowman is the nephew of LCpl David Warren Kennedy who died in a forest fire whilst serving in Cyrpus.
Family members of Mr Bowman also attended with some travelling from as far as Australia for the presentation.
The Elizabeth Cross is a commemorative emblem given to the recognised next of kin of members of the British Armed Forces killed in action after the Second World War.
