VIDEO: Train heroes to be honoured for bravery

Three US citizens and a Briton who on Friday helped disarm a gunman on a train from Amsterdam to Paris, are to be awarded France’s highest honour.

As reported by Euronews, Spencer Stone (23) Antony Sadler (23) Alek Skarlatos (22) and Chris Norman (62) are to meet French President Francois Hollande today (Monday Aug 24) who will present them with the Legion d’Honneur in recognition of their bravery.

The men, two of whom were American servicemen, have played down their actions saying they just reacted on instinct.
