Pride of Britain award winners


Pride of Britain award winners: Amazing real-life heroes outshine the celebrities

As her X Factor idols came on the Pride of Britain stage to meet her, Ramona was overcome with emotion as her heroism was highlighted



Heroine Ramona Gibbs did not think twice when she saw an out-of-control car hurtling towards her little sister Trixie.
With just seconds to spare, she pushed her out of the way and took the full brunt of the impact herself, causing devastating injuries.
But last night, as her X Factor idols came on the Pride of Britain stage to meet her, Ramona was overcome with emotion as the full extent of her heroism was laid bare for the country to see.
As she received her Child of Courage award the emotional seven-year-old burst into tears on stage surrounded by judges Tulisa, Gary Barlow, Louis Walsh and Nicole Scherzinger.
Flanked by her sister, cute Ramona clung on to her favourite judge Tulisa’s hand to receive her awards.
Through her tears, she said: “It’s been brilliant meeting Tulisa from X Factor. Tonight has been so exciting.”
Last July Ramona reacted in a flash when a Land Rover accidentally mounted the kerb and sped towards her and Trixie, then aged three, as they played outside their home.
Without Ramona’s intervention Trixie would have almost certainly have been killed, medics said.
Her heroics only became clear in hospital when Trixie – who escaped with only a scratch – complained: “Mum, Ramona pushed me.”
After being crushed by the car she spent 16 days in hospital and endured five operations.
Doctors treated her for liver and lung damage, a broken leg and rib, bruised pelvis and internal bleeding.
But despite the pain she has suffered, Ramona, of Bristol, says it is all worth it. “I really like her. She’s my best sister ever,” she grinned.
Mum Sally, 44, gushed: “I think Ramona’s an amazing girl. It was days later when we discovered what really happened. I’m so proud of my girls.”
