The Hon. Mayanne Francis, ONS

Lieutenant Governors seem to get bad advice when it comes to wearing their medals. This photo depicts Mayann Francis and some recipients of Nova Scotia's provincial Order. She is wearing her Order of Nova Scotia on a ribbon that is too long and I have no idea what she is wearing on the right hand side. Thankfully a survey of more recent photos reveals that the medal on the right is no longer worn, however Francis continues to often wear her Order of Nova Scotia as an olympic medal. How very unfortunate that so many Lieutenant Governors have no clue how to wear the orders, decorations and medals they pick up as a consequence of serving in a vice-regal position.
