With the passing of Queen Elizabeth, we recall a moment that was a source of pride for Lebanon, the moment in 2010 when Lebanese Naval Lieutenant Asaad Youssef Al-Turk was presented with the Royal Sword as an award given to the best and most deserving of the approximately 1,500 British and foreign naval officers of various nationalities.

The event was held for the first time in the history of the British Royal Naval College and was held as part of a grand celebration at the British Naval College in Dartmouth, as part of the graduation ceremony in April 2010.
It should be noted that Al-Turk also won the Admiralty Telescope Award for the best foreign officer of the year.
Al-Turk had attended a course in Britain and was chosen from six successive batches of naval officers.
With the approval of Buckingham Palace, he was deemed worthy to receive the Sword of the Queen of Great Britain, which symbolizes honour, leadership and royalty.
It is mentioned that Al-Turk is the son of the hymn Rima Al-Turk and also the son of the Nesruto Association, where he played the western flute, and is known for his great love for his homeland Lebanon, and was in the Lebanese army, but chose to make your way abroad.
