A Burnham-On-Sea St John Ambulance Brigade volunteer who was awarded an MBE in the Queen’s New Year Honours list is to receive her award during the next few weeks.
Pat Comer, of Rosewood Avenue, is set to be presented with the award at a ceremony in Buckingham Palace on June 9th.
“I was quite surprised – I had no clues whatsoever,” she told Burnham-On-Sea.com on hearing the news last December.
Pat has spent much of her life volunteering with St John and is currently the group’s deputy commander in Somerset.
She has helped St Johns since she was 11, overseeing the cubs and cadets in Highbridge and also the adult division.
Pat, who is a church warden at Burnham’s St Andrew’s Church, is also closely involved with the Somerset St John Fellowship group, which helps retired ambulance volunteers.
