A Bexley police officer will be among those awarded by the Queen for their bravery in the face of the London Bridge terror attack last summer.

Charlie Guenigault, 26, is an emergency response officer. Although off-duty when the attack struck Borough Market last June, he ran to the aid of others.

He was stabbed multiple times in the head, leg and back when he took on the attackers and was left in critical condition in hospital.

Since his recovery, PC Guenigault has been back to work and even managed to run the London Marathon in aid of King's College Hospital, who he thanked for saving his life.

Today (July 19) PC Guenigault and several others will be awarded the George Medal for coming to the aid of the injured during the attack.

The couple who helped the officer after he was stabbed will also be awarded the Queen's Commendation for Bravery.

The awarding committee said Ellen Gauntlett and Justin Jones, from Bromley, may have saved PC Guenigault's life.

The officer has thanked the pair for risking their safety to help him. He said: "It just shows you that you don't have to be a police officer to do something amazing as well."

PC Wayne Marques will also be commended today, alongside Ignacio Echeverria and Kirsty Boden, who lost their lives in the attack.
