Three people who confronted a woman with a knife in a Valleys supermarket, volunteers who rescued swimmers caught in a rip tide at a Welsh beach and a young boy with cancer who rescued a drowning man are among the people shortlisted for this year's St David Awards.
The awards, which are celebrating their ninth year in 2022, recognise the extraordinary achievements of people from across Wales.
Announcing the finalists, First Minister Mark Drakeford said: “Some of the people shortlisted have shown extraordinary acts of bravery and determination. Others have shown incredible community spirit despite the pressures of living through the coronavirus pandemic.
