A father alerted by his daughter. A 90-year-old alone in a burning house. Gas canisters exploding. Joseph Butler smashed through the window, scaled a fence & carried the man to safety despite his own blood pressure condition. We're incredibly proud to award him the Bronze Medal.

At 15, Mya Gilman watched her father suffer a catastrophic arterial wound after a dog attack & saved his life.

She received the Society's President's Award for the most meritorious life-saving act by a young person under 18.

Very proud to award Zaid Anfoka the Silver Medal for his extraordinary bravery. We're also grateful to HE @ManarMDabbas for attending to our awards to honour him. Zaid's courage is an inspiration to us all & his story will be a true source of pride for the people of Jordan.

Proud of our young 🇯🇴 who represent the sincere values and bright image of Jordan. Zaid is one of our youth who demonstrated great courage and selflessness, stepping forward to rescue those who were in urgent need of help. I thank @RoyalHumane Society for recognising and honouring him

فخور بشبابنا الذين يمثلون المبادئ الصادقة والصورة المشرقة للأردن، زيد انفوقا أحد شبابنا الذي أظهر شجاعة وتضحية كبيرتين وهبّ لإنقاذ من كانوا بحاجة ماسة للمساعدة، أشكر الجمعية الإنسانية الملكية على تكريمه على هذا العمل النبيل

PC Hawley said the award was "humbling", adding: "It just reassures you that, despite all the negativity that's out there about policing, we do some really good things.”

“When the officers came through the door my heart had stopped and they did CPR on me for 22 minutes. Without their first aid skills I would be dead.”
