GRIEVING families caught up in the Manchester Arena bombing are calling for a senior police officer to be stripped of his Queen’s medal.
Chief Insp Dale Sexton, duty officer in the police control room on the night of the attack, was criticised in a damning review of emergency service failures.
He was handed the Queen’s Police Medal by Prince William at Buckingham Palace in 2019 in recognition of his involvement in the emergency response.

The review concluded this week that Saffie-Rose was one of two victims who could have been saved.
Dad Andrew told the Sunday Mirror: “It’s the ultimate insult he has been rewarded for bravery when his mistakes let Saffie down. He should be stripped of the medal, 100%.
