Prince William met some of the medical heroes who were first on the scene following the Westminster terror attack.

He thanked them after hearing how staff from St Thomas’s hospital ran to help victims.

Among them were Dr Gareth Lloyd, a junior doctor who was on his way to work, and Dr Colleen Anderson, another junior doctor who rushed to help after seeing the atrocity from the hospital.

Others who met the prince on his visit yesterday were A&E consultant Dr Holly Gettings, ward sister Margaret Kallon and senior physiotherapist Charlotte Wilce, who also helped patients on the bridge.

Earlier in the day William visited the London Ambulance Service, which sent 68 staff and took 23 patients to hospital.

Motorcycle paramedic Richard Webb-Stevens, who was the first ambulance responder, said: “I started at one end of the bridge and worked my way across, checking all of the patients, some of whom were very badly injured.

"The public were amazingly helpful.”
