Chapter 239 Awards

Windsor Castle, located in Windsor, a royal borough in southeast England, England, 32 kilometers away from London. It is a family castle of the British royal Windsor dynasty and is also the largest inhabited castle in the world today.

Windsor Castle and Buckingham Palace and Holyrood Palace are one of the administrative residences of the current Queen Elizabeth II of the United Kingdom. However, unlike the other two castles, this castle became a venue for the palace shortly after its completion. Many royal ceremonies, including the award ceremony that Tang Hao will attend this time, will be held in this castle.

After driving for more than half an hour, Chairman Cai's special car arrived in Windsor. As soon as the group got off, soldiers from the Royal Guard escorted them to the castle.

After hiking for more than ten minutes, Tang Hao saw the legendary castle.

The entire castle is a square. On both sides of the castle, there is a circular wall building, guarding the castle in the middle, revealing an invisible sense of majesty. This castle, which was used for military suppression from the beginning, has been repaired for hundreds of years in later generations, but the solemnity is not reduced at all.

There have been many people outside the castle, not only local residents, but also many media reporters.

The castle's medal ceremony requires most of the royal members to attend, including the current Queen Elizabeth II, so the past rituals were held within the time of formulation, which is obvious, this time is an exception.

Although this exception has many political reasons, the attention it attracts is unprecedented.

Tang Hao's appearance immediately attracted cheers from the onlookers and various spotlights.

Obviously, after the overwhelming media reports, Tang Hao has brought unprecedented influence to the city of London and even the country of Britain.

In the center of the castle is an arch with an upper and lower circle, and the guards escorted him from the front.

There are many guards in the castle, and there are many royal members standing in front of the hall.

At first glance, there were many people who Tang Hao knew, including Elizabeth II, Prince William and Middleton, Duke of Campbell, Earl Louis, and some who were in the grade, who should be other members of the royal family.

After Tang Hao entered the venue, the awarding ceremony did not begin immediately. He was taken to a side hall to start preparing for the ceremony.

At this time, some people and media reporters who were originally gathered outside the castle were allowed to enter the castle.

In the center of the castle is a huge square square, with a special viewing area set up behind the guards. Although times are changing, this British award ceremony has been preserved for thousands of years.

After almost the preparations outside, a special guard came in to guide Tang Hao appeared at the venue again.

Although Elizabeth II was present, she was sitting on a chair now. At the age of her, she obviously had no energy to award medals. The first heir to the throne, Prince William's father, Prince Charles.

At this moment, the guards stood in two rows, one left and one right, with steel guns in their hands, with a solemn expression.

At the end of the queue, Prince Charles held the medal in his hand and smiled.

As soon as Tang Hao appeared, the band on the scene began to play music, and a solemn atmosphere instantly spread in the castle. The onlookers were extremely quiet at this moment, leaving only the sound of the flashing lights when the reporter took photos.

As Tang Hao continued to move forward, the music became more and more exciting. When he reached the front of the queue, the music stopped abruptly.

"Rise the gun!"

With the shouts of the guard captain, all the guards raised their guns from bottom to top in an orderly manner, and then raised them forward.

"Elizabeth II, the ruler of the British Empire... In order to commend Tang Hao's contribution to London and the British people, he specially awarded the British Empire official Medal."

After a long list of ritual words from the guards, Prince Charles pinned the medal in his hand to Tang Hao's chest.

The official medal is one of the higher-level medals. In recent years, only Beckham and "Harry Potter" author J-k-Royling have won it. They awarded this level of medal to a Chinese. This time the royal family really invested a lot.

Tang Hao looked down at the medal.

The medal is roughly divided into two parts, a ribbon and a cross.

The ribbon is pink rose colored with a pearly gray outer edge around it.

The medal is cross-shaped, with a ring in the center, which is painted with the image of George V and Queen Mary, and a crown is placed on the top of the ring.

The whole appearance looks very tall.

"Congratulations, young man." Prince Charles said to him with a smile after putting on the medal.

"Thank you." Tang Hao said with a smile.

With the end of the award ceremony, the band played music again. Compared with the previous one, the military music this time seemed much smoother. The royal family also stood up and applauded and congratulated Tang Hao.

At this time, Prince William even brought Middleton to take a photo with Tang Hao.

"I will go to the relay race tonight." Prince William whispered to Tang Hao when he took a photo.

Tang Hao nodded with a smile. Prince William is really ready to do what he says.

After attending the award ceremony, Tang Hao followed Chairman Cai’s special car back to the Olympic Village.

Chairman Cai's face was quite good. Although this time the award was personal, it was also from the national team. The athletes won the award and the official medal was a medal. This is definitely historic.

After the medal ceremony, the British media reported on this medal ceremony overwhelmingly.

"For the first time in the history of the British Empire, the foreign athlete's Medal was awarded to the official Zuo, and Tang Hao's behavior has won the recognition of this country."

"No politics, no sports, only a brave heart. Tang Hao deserves the title of city hero and this official medal."

"The official medal is far from enough to recognize Tang Hao's contribution to this country. We should remember this moment, the Chinese who stood up in times of crisis."

...

This news soon covered the news of the demonstrations, and the British people, who have always been harsh, also made exceptions to Tang Hao, a Chinese, and praised him far more than belittled.

It was already noon when I returned to the Olympic Village. After having a simple lunch with Chairman Cai in the cafeteria, Tang Hao returned to the swimming pool for training.

In the afternoon, he not only had to compete in the 200-meter semi-finals, but also participated in the men's 4x200-meter preliminaries (also the semi-finals).

However, when he arrived at the swimming pool, he was taken by many athletes before he could train.

After the award ceremony, Tang Hao's positive image among athletes soared straight.
