The families of 67 firefighters, police officers, Members of Parliament and other public servants who died as a result of their public service were awarded the Elizabeth Emblem, the Northern Ireland Office announced on 4 September 2026. It was the fourth list published since the award was established in 2024, and the government said it is the civilian equivalent of the Elizabeth Cross. First Secretary of State Louise Haigh met some recipient families at Number 10 that day.

Those named included Jo Cox MP, murdered in 2016; PC John Egerton, who died in 1982; and Sir David Amess MP, fatally stabbed in 2021. Firefighters Jennifer Logan and Martyn Lewis Sadler died in 2025 at a fire at Bicester Motion Heritage Centre. Thirty-nine recipients were police officers based in Northern Ireland, including Mervyn Basil Robinson (1981) and Samuel Cyril Stewart (1998).

Prime Minister Andy Burnham said the Emblem puts on record that the families' sacrifice will never be forgotten. Northern Ireland Secretary Sir Chris Bryant said the 39 included officers who served during the Troubles. The award is retrospective to 1948, and next of kin can apply through the Cabinet Office.
