A CHAMPION drum major who risked his life to save his young bandmates is to receive a prestigious award for his outstanding bravery.

Marc Price, 22, pictured, suffered a broken back and hip after diving in front of a runaway car as it careered towards a group of more than 15 young musicians aged as young as ten in Norfolk this August.

Now, Marc, of Elder Avenue, Wickford, is set to receive a Testimonial of Parchment from the Royal Humane Society in recognition of his fearless courage.
