Steve Gallant, who was convicted of the murder of Barrie Jackson in Hull, received the Queen's Gallantry Medal for his actions in November 2019.
A convicted murderer has spoken about the moment he tackled a terrorist on his first day out of prison.
Gallant described seeing two women covered in blood on the floor of Fishmongers' Hall, as Khan stood in front of him with knives in his hands."At first I threw a chunk of wood at him, and then he showed me his bomb. "It was obviously the right thing to do in the circumstances, but I'd resisted violence, I'd not used violence once in 14-and-a-half years until that moment," Gallant told presenters Alison Hammond and Dermot O'Leary.
Speaking about Jackson's murder, he said his partner had been attacked and he responded "in the way that I understood... to use violence". He said: "I would never define myself as a hero, but I think there is an opportunity to use that to say, 'look, people can change'."
