Fifteen Britons who risked their lives for others to be recognised for bravery

The 2023 civilian gallantry list includes four people who tackled the terrorist behind 2019 London Bridge attack

More than a dozen people who risked their lives trying to save others are to be recognised for their bravery, it has been announced.

The 15 named on the 2023 civilian gallantry list include a man who died intervening in an armed attack, a woman who saved an elderly neighbour from a burning building, and several people who tackled the terrorist behind the 2019 London Bridge attack. Each will be awarded either the Queen’s gallantry medal or the Queen’s commendation for bravery – the final such awards to be named after the monarch who died this year.
