Men who were conscripted or volunteered to work as miners during World War II are to be formally recognised later for their contribution to the war effort.
Prime Minister Gordon Brown will use a Downing Street ceremony to award the first commemorative badges to some of those known as Bevin Boys. Some 27, including Sir Jimmy Saville, will receive their badges.
