The Elizabeth Emblem is a national form of recognition conferred by the monarch and awarded to the next of kin of United Kingdom public servants who are killed in performance of their duty. It is named in tribute to Queen Elizabeth II. It is the civilian equivalent of the Elizabeth Cross. It was introduced partly in response to campaigners, including the father of PC Nicola Hughes.
