A hero who saved Princess Anne during an attempted kidnap is selling his George Medal nearly 50 years later to fund his own funeral.
Former heavyweight boxer Ronnie Russell, 72, punched gunman Ian Ball in the head as he tried to abduct the Princess at gunpoint in London in 1974.
He was awarded the George Medal for bravery by the Queen who told him: “The medal is from the Queen, but I want to thank you as Anne's mother.”
This video was filmed 2nd March 2020.
