[I hope a contributor from the UK can add to this question] The George Cross is the highest civilian decoration that can be awarded by the United Kingdom. As of 1943, in accordance with the George Cross (Restriction of Use) Ordinance, it is unlawful to use the George Cross or an imitation of it or the words George Cross, for the purposes of trade or business without the authorisation of the Prime Minister. However, whether or not its use is restricted to other decorative uses or display is unknown by this contributor, although it would seem to follow, that only those to whom it was awarded would have the authorization to display it.

When would someone be awarded a George Cross?

According to Wikipedia the Free Online Encyclopedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Cross); The George Cross (GC) is the highest civil decoration of the United Kingdom, and also holds, or has held, that status in many of the other countries of the Commonwealth of Nations. The GC is the civilian counterpart of the Victoria Cross (VC) and the highest gallantry award for civilians as well as for military personnel in actions which are not in the face of the enemy or for which purely military honours would not normally be granted. The George Cross, which may be awarded posthumously, is granted in recognition of "acts of the greatest heroism or of the most conspicuous courage in circumstances of extreme danger." The cross is primarily a civilian award; however the George Cross may be awarded to military personnel for gallant conduct which is not in the face of the enemy. As the Warrant states: The Cross is intended primarily for civilians and award in Our military services is to be confined to actions for which purely military Honours are not normally granted.
