Nottingham attacks victim awarded George Medal
Nottingham attacks victim Grace O'Malley-Kumar will be awarded the George Medal after she made the "ultimate sacrifice" to protect her friend.
Ms O'Malley-Kumar tried to defend Barnaby Webber, both 19, as they were fatally stabbed by paranoid schizophrenic Valdo Calocane on 13 June 2023.
She is one of 20 recipients of the civilian gallantry awards, and one of four awarded it posthumously.
At a news conference in London on Monday, Ms O'Malley-Kumar's mother - Dr Sinead O'Malley - said: "She's quite an exceptional human being, and Grace will go down in the history books as such."
