‘I did want to honour this award to Folajimi Olubunmi-Adewole, or Jimi as he’s known by his friends and family, and Joaquin Garcia,’ Dua said. ‘Jimi and Joaquin attempted to rescue a woman who had fallen from London Bridge and tragically Jimi did not survive. ‘Jimi and Joaquin knowingly put themselves in danger and they did it without hesitation, even though they were strangers to each other and the woman that they were rescuing, so it would be really fitting if their actions were recognised with a bravery award and I hope this can happen, to give Jimi’s family some comfort.
‘This award is for Jimi and Joaquin. Jimi, you have touched the hearts of the whole nation and we will never forget you.’
