Proper Yorkshire no nonsense Lads ! With the deepest voices ! Well done, so many lives saved !

[aliceinwonderland.]

It is so sad that many of today’s teenagers are defined by the smaller percentage of those who have given them such a bad name. These boys are an example of the goodness and sensitivity that so many youngsters possess and how great to see the media can focus on the positives rather than the constant negatives for a change.I’m sure there are thousands of teenagers who are unsung heroes.

Went to primary school with freddie, but didnt know him much. When I had spoken to him he seemed nice, but now i know that he's a legend

[maarzx]

So much respect for that guy risking his life for a stranger

[liamh]

As a man who suffers with his mental health, everyone needs people like this in their lives. Absolute heroes.

[equestrian_jett]

Not only did they save the man from being killed, but they saved the traindriver from the trauma and potential guilt they wouldve had to live with for the rest of their life.

Representing Yorkshire too! Well done, boys

[lindawarner]

It's restored my faith in young people, his father must be so proud, well done to both of them.

[HarveyMartin-lque]

My son took his own life in January 2024 aged 23. For these 2 boys to save someone's life is just the most amazing thing that anyone could ever do. They should be so proud of themselves and a credit to their families. To be able to prevent the pain that suicide causes is indescribable. I wouldn't wish this pain on anyone. i am so thankful that your courage and bravery saved someone's life and another mother and family does not have to suffer. Its truly admirable you are true heroes :) x

What incredible boys, brought a tear to my eye. Well done lads, so humble as well! You are role models for all.

[melonycrumpet]

Well done lads. You’re a credit to your families. During a lockdown break my son and his friends were out for a walk in nearby woods, they encountered a man with a rope around his neck and he was about to hang himself from a tree. They were only 15 at the time but they instantly knew what to do. They sat with him and talked and allowed him to talk. While he was distracted one of his friends took the opportunity to move the rope away from him. The man was upset but thanked them for saving his life. They walked him home. This was in Pudsey, Leeds. It must be a Yorkshire thing!

[kamrankhalid]

Well done to those teen boys for giving that man a reason to live again

[rosiejones]
