John and Bernadette Gavey are long-standing members of first-aid charity St John Ambulance, which provides first-aid training for businesses and schools, and medical cover at Island events such as the Battle of Flowers, Jersey Live, fetes and fairs.
Along with fellow member Daryl Cotillard they were presented with long-service certificates by the Lieutenant-Governor, General Sir John McColl.
The Commander of St John Ambulance Jersey, Lieutenant-Colonel John Pinel, said: ‘It was a great privilege to have the awards presented by Sir John, and it was extremely nice of Sir John and Lady McColl to invite us to Government House. It is quite amazing that each of the recipients had actually given more than 50 years’ service, as they all joined as teenagers and the record of service does not begin until they became adult members.’
