Poll results revealed: Should the Queen's bearer party get MBEs?

Millions of people around the world watched in awe on Monday as eight young Grenadier Guardsmen carried upon their shoulders Queen Elizabeth II's coffin at her state funeral, displaying the impeccable professionalism and composure Britain's Armed Forces are known for. 

Flawless, role models, nerves of steel, outstanding – just some of the words that have been used to describe the young soldiers. 

While some might say the men from Queen's Company, 1st Battalion Grenadier Guards, were only doing their duty, others are expressing their admiration for the dedication these men showed to a woman they had a close connection with. 

• Praise continues for 'outstanding' Guardsmen who carried Queen's coffin
• 'They deserve a medal': Calls for Guardsmen who carried the Queen's coffin to get MBEs
• Why the Queen's lead-lined coffin weighs same as about a dozen 55lb bergens

As the serving Monarch, Her Late Majesty held the position of company commander for Queen's Company, 1st Battalion Grenadier Guards and made a personal review of the company every decade. 

People took to social media to express their strong belief that the pallbearers should be honoured for their service by each being awarded an MBE. 

So, we asked you the question: Should the soldiers receive MBEs? See the results below.

The results

A resounding 72% of the responses to the Forces News poll said 'Yes', they definitely should receive MBEs.

With 24% saying 'No' and 4% remaining unsure.

Despite the growing social media demand, we will have to wait and see if the pallbearers do in fact receive further recognition for their role.
