Sri Lanka-born Dr. Hareen De Silva, who serves as a general practitioner in the UK’s National Health Service, has been invited to the coronation of King Charles III.
Dr. De Silva was awarded a British Empire Medal for his services to general practice during the Covid-19 pandemic.
He is among a group of ‘ordinary’ people who have made extraordinary contributions to their community, to be invited for the coronation that takes place today (06).
King Charles and Queen Consort Camilla have invited at least 850 people to the ceremony, including more than 450 recipients of the British Empire Medal.
