Mike was spotted wearing three medals on Monday, the first of which is a silver cross patonce with a red ribbon, given to the rugby player when he was made a Member of the Order of the British Empire in 2007 for his contribution to rugby.
The second medal, positioned in between the other two, is the Queen Elizabeth II Diamond Jubilee Medal, which is a commemorative medal created in 2012 to mark the 60th anniversary of Queen Elizabeth II's accession in 1952.
The silver medal features the Queen's face along with the dates of her coronation and the year 2012. Mike received the special pin as a member of the Royal Family.
