Queen praises heroes who used a narwhal tusk and fire extinguisher to stop London Bridge attacker
....
Queen Elizabeth II, in a statement, praised their bravery. “I express my enduring thanks to the police and emergency services, as well as the brave individuals who put their own lives at risk to selflessly help and protect others,” she said.
The mayor of London, Sadiq Khan, no relation to the dead attacker, said he was in “awe of the people who ran toward danger to keep us all safe.”
Asked about reports that one of the defenders was a restaurant worker from Poland — whose full identity has not been made public — the major confirmed he was a Londoner of Polish origin.
“One of the great things about London is its diversity, so I’m not surprised at all. When I say ‘the best of us,’ I include E.U. citizens as well,” the mayor said.
