Elliot Brooke, 19, was honoured at the Young Achievers’ Reception in 2024, an annual event which celebrates the exceptional contributions of young St John Ambulance members.
The event was attended by The Princess Royal, who has served as St John’s Commandant-in-Chief (Youth) for many years.
Brooke, of Rowan Road in Martham, appeared at Norwich Magistrates’ Court facing four charges involving images of children aged as young as under 10 after being arrested in March 2025.
Brooke was previously nominated for a Young Diamonds award, a special regional recognition created by the Norfolk Lieutenancy and the Royal Norfolk Agricultural Association, that honours young people for exceptional community contributions.
He also achieved the Grand Prior's Award, the highest achievement for young cadets in the St John Ambulance, by the age of 13.
