- A twin who saved her sister from a crocodile attack has described being honoured with a King’s Gallantry Medal as a “silver lining” after their ordeal.
Georgia Laurie, from Sandhurst in Berkshire, will receive the bravery honour on the King’s first Civilian Gallantry List.
The 31-year-old punched the reptile in the face when it attacked her twin Melissa while they were in Mexico in June 2021.
Georgia said of the honour: “It’s an absolute privilege...it’s not every day you can say you’ve been given a King’s Gallantry Medal.
“It’s been a long period of darkness... but I do feel like things are getting better.”

Hi did you live in Cardiff in 1991 by any chance ?
They were back packing in South America. The incident happened in a lake after an unlicensed German tour guide recommended they take a swim as it was a hot day. The sisters and two other friends of theirs did not know that the guide was unlicensed. They are all extremely lucky to be alive, especially Mellisa.
Any proof?
!!!??? proof is you sick !
You used your hands Skillfully yeah! Your Nail bar, gave you Iron nails💅 😅
