IT IS not always easy to know how we would react in an emergency. For Robert Graham and his fiancee Sarah Taylor, it was with real courage.

They rushed to the aid of a woman who was burning to death on the road, and frantically tried to smother the flames before calling the emergency services. Tragically, despite their efforts, the woman died.

But they did what they could. Emergency services have labelled their actions "very brave". Their instinctive courage and humanity are surely deserving of an award.
