The Methodist Church’s Connexional Team policy adviser, Steve Hucklesby, has been described as ‘heroic’ for trying to save lives during the London terrorist attacks on 7 July 2005.
Giving testimony at the inquest, Mr Hucklesby denied his actions were heroic, but the coroner, Lady Justice Hallett, said he ‘may not like the word’ but she could not ‘think of any other word to describe what you did.’ Mr Hucklesby climbed through a broken window into a bombed train at Edgeware Road underground station to attempt to resuscitate a woman, despite having only one day’s first aid training. Mr Hucklesby has been made an MBE in recognition of his efforts.
