Controversial Honour for 'Party Marty' Sparks Outrage

Martin Reynolds, former aide involved in lockdown party scandal, to receive public service honour at Windsor Castle.

Martin Reynolds, known as 'Party Marty', is set to be honoured as a Companion of the Order of Bath for public service.
Reynolds organized a 'bring-your-own-booze' party during the first UK Covid lockdown, which later became a major public scandal.
The Covid-19 Bereaved Families for Justice group condemns the honour as disrespectful to those who suffered during the pandemic.
Reynolds apologized unreservedly during a Covid-19 Inquiry but downplayed the immediate impact of the event on public confidence.
Other honorees include former deputy PMs Therese Coffey and Oliver Dowden, with the ceremony led by the Princess Royal.
