Lancashire AA patrol, Robert Balfour, was awarded the honour in recognition of his selfless actions, in December last year, at the AA's annual awards evening.

AA president Edmund King, said: “AA patrols pride themselves on fixing our members first, then the car.

"Robert’s selfless actions on that December night almost certainly saved the lives of the car’s occupants."
