“ So many people did such important work and when it comes to awards, others deserve it as much if not more”
Bridge was the best example of teamwork I’ve ever come across. It’s slightly different from Borough Market because it was more pairs of officers. I’m incredibly grateful for the recognition, but anything that I or any of the other guys did was only possible because of the team we had around us.” Special Constable Karim Gouhar
was at another job when the call about the terrorist incident at Borough Market came in. He gave first aid to the survivors, and was with James and Darren when they found a group sheltering from the attackers in a pub. He is proud to have been part of the emergency service response and sees his award as recognition for everyone who was there on the day. Dave Bicker blocked traffic at
Westminster Bridge and identified three of the injured, who he stayed with to deliver first aid. He recalls how members of the public assisted.
“One person in particular sat with me and the three injured and kept them talking, which was really helpful.” He adds, about the award: “I can’t believe I’ve done enough to earn it. I’m sure there’s people who have done a lot more. It really was a whole team effort.”
