France train shooting: British hero 'happy to be alive'

The French president Francois Hollande has awarded France's highest honour to the four men who prevented a suspected terror attack on a high-speed train to Paris on Friday.

British grandfather Chris Norman, US serviceman Spencer Stone and two other Americans, Alek Skarlatos and Anthony Sadler, were presented with Legion d'honneur medals at the Elysee Palace.

Mr Norman said he felt very happy and lucky to be alive, and thanked the other men who were involved.
