Ronald Brignall was 16 years old when he saved Cardiff's City Hall after an incendiary bomb fell by clamping a sandbag between his teeth and climbing a drainpipe. He was cheered on by the official fire-watchers as he went back up with a fire hose - also gripped in his mouth - to finish putting out the fire. Cardiff Lord Mayor Bablin Molik, is travelling to Mr Brignall's care home in Steyning, West Sussex, on Thursday to present him with a special certificate thanking him for his heroism."
