Teacher Tim Coulson, who was caught up in the aftermath of the Edgware Road bombing, will be presented with a bronze medal by Princess Alexandra, president of the Royal Humane Society, in a ceremony at Haberdashers' Hall on Wednesday.

The 53-year-old, from Henley, was among a group of men who smashed their way into a stricken carriage of the bombed train to give first aid to the injured and dying.

He was underground for more than an hour until the emergency services arrived and still suffers from post-traumatic stress.

He was refused a New Year's honour by the Cabinet office on the grounds the awards could only be given to people "for meritorious service over a sustained period".

Mr Coulson said: "I feel immensely proud my part in saving the lives of others in such dire circumstances has been recognised. It will also go towards repairing some of the damage intended that day."
