XX : CATHERINE SHANAHAN : XX live news job. Mick Lynch with the medal from the President. .It turns out his father in law, Gordon Lawson, also lived there. He was due to turn 101 this month but passed away in December. However his president's medal and letter from Michael D arrived in the post this week to congratulate him. Mike was delighted to get it, but says he will return the medal as Gordon "was a gent and would never accept a medal for a race not run".
