Watch gifted to captain who saved 700 Titanic passengers sells for record fee | UK News

A gold watch gifted to the captain of a boat which rescued Titanic passengers has sold for a record-breaking £1.56m.

The 18-carat Tiffany & Co pocket watch was given to Captain Arthur Rostron by three widows of high-profile and wealthy businessmen who died when the ship sank in 1912.

Captain Rostron helped save the women, along with hundreds of other passengers, when he changed the course of his Carpathia ship after hearing a distress call from the Titanic after it struck an iceberg.

The timepiece was sold to a private collector in the US on Saturday by auctioneers Henry Aldridge and Son in Wiltshire, who paid the highest-ever fee for Titanic memorabilia.

The previous record was set in April when another gold pocket watch, recovered from the body of the richest man on the ship, John Jacob Astor, sold for £1.175m at the same auction house.

Mr Astor died aged 47 when the ship went down, after seeing his new wife Madeleine on to a lifeboat.

Mrs Astor was one of the widows who gifted Captain Rostron his watch, presenting it to him at a lunch at the family’s mansion on Fifth Avenue, New York, according to the auction house.

An inscription on it reads: “Presented to Captain Rostron with the heartfelt gratitude and appreciation of three survivors of the Titanic April 15th 1912 Mrs John B Thayer, Mrs John Jacob Astor and Mrs George D Widener.”

Auctioneer Andrew Aldridge said: “It was presented principally in gratitude for Rostron’s bravery in saving those lives, because without Mr Rostron, those 700 people wouldn’t have made it.”

The violin that was played as the ship sank held the previous record for 11 years after being sold for £1.1m in 2013.

More than 1,500 people were killed after the Titanic hit an iceberg, with just 705 survivors.

Dr Yaser Jabbar: Family say surgeon was ‘trying to save a leg that couldn’t be saved’ | UK News

The father of a six-year-old girl who was operated on by former surgeon Dr Yaser Jabbar multiple times over 15 months is among the first to be told she suffered harm during her care.

Dean Stalham’s daughter Bunty was born with the rare bone condition neurofibromatosis.

It means she has been in and out of hospital since she was 18 months old but was placed under the care of the former consultant orthopaedic surgeon in 2018.

During her time in Dr Jabbar’s care at Great Ormond Street Hospital, her family say she underwent multiple “unsuccessful and painful” procedures which ultimately led to her leg being amputated below the knee.

The hospital is reviewing the care of hundreds of children seen by Dr Jabbar.

Some 700 cases are being investigated in total and a select number of families have heard back already, including Bunty’s.

The review of her care – shown to Sky News – revealed that she had suffered moderate physical and mild psychological harm.

Speaking to Sky News, her father Dean Stalham said: “He [Dr Jabbar] was trying to save a leg that couldn’t be saved.

“He took it upon himself to be the almighty saviour of the leg, as it were, and it proves that they were all unnecessary because they all failed – and what it says in the report is that there’s no benefit, not one operation was of any benefit to Bunty whatsoever.”

Mr Stalham added: “He was all smiles and success – coming in and saying I’ve lengthened her leg, it’s great, it’s longer than the other one, it was all a big major success and then out of the blue – actually no it hasn’t worked.”

Dr Jabbar no longer works at the hospital and has not had a licence to practise medicine in the UK since January.

Bunty’s leg was eventually amputated in 2022. Her father says it should have happened sooner and saved her from prolonged pain.

“We think that she thought her leg was going to grow back, in her head, because she was told it was a healthy bone… she thought her leg was going to regrow. He sold her a dream.

“After the eventual amputation, he came out of that operation and said right I’ve left a three-inch piece of lovely, healthy bone hanging from her knee, it will mean she will have mobility. Then two weeks later, the bone’s veering off to the left.”

An external report – commissioned by Great Ormond Street – into Dr Jabbar’s practices and the wider department, is due to be sent to the families of those affected who wish to see it.

They have been told it will be redacted in places.

Caroline Murgatroyd, from Hudgell Solicitors, is representing some of them.

“Bunty’s case has similarities to others we have seen – which is a pattern of poor decision making, failure to consider alternatives to the surgery and failure to discuss with parents the risks and benefits to different treatment options and whether any particular treatment is really in the patient’s best interest.”

Great Ormond Street Hospital for Children said in a statement: “We wish to say we are deeply sorry to Bunty and her family, and all the families impacted by the review of care given by a Lower Limb Orthopaedic surgeon. This is not what they should expect from any service at our hospital.

“Within 18 working days of concerns being raised to senior leaders about the Lower Limb Lengthening and Reconstruction Service, we asked the Royal College of Surgeons to carry out a review into our Paediatric Orthopaedic service in July 2022.

“We are now ensuring that all the findings are addressed at pace.”

Dr Jabbar has since been working in Dubai, but Sky News understands he has been suspended.

In a statement shared with Sky News, a spokesperson from CMC Hospital Dubai said: “We have been made aware of recent reports concerning allegations of misconduct and malpractice involving a physician employed at our hospital.

“We took immediate action to suspend the physician. We are awaiting the relevant authorities’ decisions on the matter.”

Twin who saved sister in crocodile attack honoured on King’s first gallantry list | UK News

A 31-year-old woman who saved her twin sister from a crocodile attack in Mexico will receive a bravery honour after being included on the King’s first Civilian Gallantry List.

Georgia Laurie, from Sandhurst in Berkshire, punched the reptile in the face when it attacked her twin Melissa in June 2021.

Both women were seriously hurt but survived after treatment.

Georgia will receive the King‘s Gallantry Medal, which acknowledges exemplary acts of bravery.

Ms Laurie said the medal was an “honour” that left her “so shocked”.

“I didn’t see it coming, I didn’t expect it.

“I feel really privileged, it’s a silver lining to have come out of the terrible ordeal… it kind of softens the whole traumatic experience,” she said.

“It’s been a good thing for not just me but for the whole family, I feel like I have to share it with my sister because, let’s face it, I don’t think I would have been nominated for it if she didn’t survive.

“What’s made this story so incredible is Melissa’s unwavering bravery throughout it all because she was so strong during it and I don’t think I would be here without her, she really gave me the strength to keep fighting.”

The twins were swimming in a lagoon near Puerto Escondido when Melissa was dragged under the water.

Melissa survived with an open fracture to her wrist, severe puncture wounds to the abdomen and many injuries to her leg and foot, while Georgia was bitten on her hand.

Georgia added: “The further away it gets, the less it feels real.

“But then something like this happens and it puts it all back into perspective again, like wow, that actually did happen, it’s a crazy story.

“Because when you think about it, it does sound like a horror movie, but it’s part of the tapestry of our life.”

Police officer Zach Printer, who confronted gunman Jake Davison unarmed on 12 August, 2021 in Keyham, Plymouth, is also included on the King’s Civilian Gallantry List.

Davison killed his mother Maxine, 51, and then shot dead three-year-old Sophie Martyn, her father Lee, 43, Stephen Washington, 59, and Kate Shepherd, 66.

PC Printer was attending to Mrs Shepherd when he saw Davison carrying the firearm.

He immediately sprinted towards the 22-year-old, telling him to stand still in the hope he could talk him down. Davison then took his own life.

The officer was acknowledged for his “selfless and brave actions” while confronting Davison, which prevented further harm to others.

Among the other recipients is PC Steven Denniss, who was stabbed in the leg when apprehending a double murder suspect while off-duty in Louth, Lincolnshire, in June 2021.

PC Denniss was walking his dog when he spotted Daniel Boulton, who was wanted for the murder of his former girlfriend Bethany Vincent, 26, and her nine-year-old son Darren Henson the previous evening.

Without any protective equipment, PC Denniss tried to detain Boulton until colleagues arrived, and was stabbed by him while on the phone with police.

The officer chased Boulton until he was joined by armed officers, before the suspect was arrested and later charged and jailed for life with a minimum term of 40 years.

This year’s Civilian Gallantry List, which includes nine people, is the first to be approved by the King.

Also on the list are Lawrie Elsdon-Dew, for protecting others during fierce fighting outside the British embassy in Sudan in April 2023, and Stacey Farrington and Jake Walker, who stopped a speeding car travelling the wrong way on a motorway using an ambulance.

The King’s Commendation for Bravery is set to go to Stephen Ellison, who rescued a stranger from a river in Chongqing, China, in November 2020.

Chhaganlal Jagaita, who helped people out of a burning hotel in Mati, Greece in July 2018, and Paul Martin, who intervened during a knife attack in April 2021, also received recognition.

Luton captain Tom Lockyer thanks ‘heroes’ who saved his life in first statement since cardiac arrest | UK News

Luton Town captain Tom Lockyer says he is doing “very well” and “feeling very much myself” after he suffered a cardiac arrest on the pitch earlier this month.

In his first statement since the incident, the 29-year-old footballer thanked “the players, staff, doctors and paramedics” for their “heroic actions”.

“I feel thankful that this happened to me surrounded by these heroes. They saved my life. I will never forget what you did for me,” he said.

Lockyer collapsed during Luton’s Premier League clash with Bournemouth at the Vitality Stadium on 16 December, with the game abandoned shortly after half time at 1-1.

He was stretchered off surrounded by the medical team to a standing ovation from the crowd and given further treatment at the ground, before being taken to hospital.

In his statement, he said: “I have been overwhelmed by the support that I have received and thank you all for your messages, letters, gifts and well wishes.

“Seeing the banners at the ground and hearing my name being sung really did mean a lot to me and my family.”

The footballer praised his teammates, saying he feels “full of pride watching the boys carry on the battle without me”.

“The fighting spirit I’ve seen in the last three games has given me a much needed lift,” he said.

“I will be doing whatever I can in whichever ways are possible to help the Gaffer and the Club. In what capacity that is remains to be decided as I’m due to meet with specialists in the new year.”

Luton Town’s captain was discharged from hospital just before Christmas after he had a “successful procedure” to fit an implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) device.

Lockyer also urged his followers to learn CPR, saying it “literally saves lives, like mine”, before again thanking fans for their support.

“I have been overwhelmed by the support that I have received and thank you all for your messages, letters, gifts and well wishes,” he added.

“Seeing the banners at the ground and hearing my name being sung really did mean a lot to me and my family.

“Finally I would like to thank Bournemouth, Gary Sweet, Rob Edwards and Luton Town for the support they’ve given my family during this time.”

Luton are currently 18th in the Premier League, just one point behind Everton but still in the relegation spots.

The incident in Bournemouth marked the second time the Welsh international collapsed during a game in 2023: Lockyer was stretchered off the pitch after falling to the ground 12 minutes into Luton’s play-off final against Coventry City in May.

Speaking to Sky Sports in June, Lockyer confirmed he had an atrial flutter, a type of heart arrythmia which he said was “probably the least severe heart condition you could have”.

He underwent corrective surgery shortly after the collapse, and was “given the all-clear” to play in the Premier League.

Speaking at a press conference, Luton manager Rob Edwards gave a light-hearted updated about his captain, saying Lockyer is “bored already”.

“I speak to him every day. He is progressing. He seems bored already, but in generally good spirits, which is really good,” he told a press conference on Friday.

“He was taking the mick out of my Christmas trainers against (Sheffield United), so yeah he is doing well.”

Edwards also told TNT Sports on Friday: “The lads probably saw me crying like three times in a week – I don’t think there’s anything wrong with showing vulnerability and emotion.

“The players saw that we all care for each other, we always stress that when we sign a new player. I always say you’ll get respect, honesty and time.”

Girl with ‘one in a billion’ condition meets stem cell donor who saved her life | UK News

The excitement of the Gardella family was palpable as they waited in the arrivals hall at Birmingham Airport for someone they’d never met before but who already meant so much to them.

Finally, they spotted a middle-aged woman wearing an oversized hoodie amongst the passengers arriving from Dusseldorf.

The family instantly recognised Dana Ernst-Behme from her WhatsApp picture and nine-year-old Sofia Gardella took the lead, eagerly approaching their guest and flinging her small arms around her neck. The hug was a long one and Ms Ernst-Behme closed her eyes as she embraced her young host.

This meeting was so special because it was the first time Ms Ernst-Behme met the girl whose life she had likely saved.

Sofia, from Mansfield, Nottinghamshire, was just two years old when her family discovered she urgently needed a stem cell transplant. She was diagnosed with Congenital Amegakaryocytic Thrombocytopenia (CAMT), a condition that is so rare doctors believe fewer than 100 people in the world have it.

CAMT causes the body to produce a dangerously low number of bone marrow cells, specifically the type needed to make platelets that clot the blood.

Sofia’s medical team scoured the Anthony Nolan stem cell register and found a good genetic match with Ms Ernst-Behme, 52, from Helpsen, Germany. She donated her stem cells from her hometown and they were immediately flown to the UK for Sofia’s life-saving treatment.

Sofia’s mum Claire Gardella said: “I actually saw the cells arrive at the hospital. I was looking out of the window and saw the courier pull up with the box.

“It looked like a bag of blood, but obviously it was a bag of magic cells. That’s what we called it when we explained it to Sofia – a bag of magic.”

Ms Ernst-Behme’s healthy stem cells replaced Sofia’s damaged ones, and she has now made a full recovery.

After five years of emails, calls and letters with Mrs Gardella, Ms Ernst-Behme decided to visit the UK for the first time and see the family whose lives she’s changed.

‘She saved my life’

Sofia said she was excited to meet her donor.

“I think it’s really important [for her to visit] because she saved my life.”

Sofia wasn’t remotely shy around Mrs Ernst-Behme. When they got home from the airport she expertly demonstrated how to play the card game Boggle.

Mrs Ernst-Behme admitted she’d known to expect Sofia’s confidence thanks to her mother’s emails.

“Claire wrote that Sofia’s a chatterbox and she said I [must have] had it in my bone marrow. But I said I’m not a chatterbox and then my husband said… I am,” she laughed.

‘We need more people to register and everyone can help maybe’

Sofia said she didn’t understand what was going on when she received her bone marrow transplant because she was too young, but now she realises a stranger donated exactly what she needed to lead a healthy, happy life. She’s very grateful.

Sofia said she now loves dancing, swimming and riding her bike – all made possible by the transplant she received.
Her mother said it was such a huge relief when they got the news the doctors had found a match for Sofia.

“Oh it’s amazing just to think that there’s somebody out there who’s willing to help us, somebody that doesn’t know us,” said Mrs Gardella.

“We need more people to register and everyone can help maybe. There’s one match all over the world,” said Mrs Ernst-Behme.

Call for donors

The Anthony Nolan charity has been helping patients for almost 50 years.

It has the UK’s biggest stem cell register, but desperately needs more people to sign up, particularly donors between the age of 16-25 years old. Donors under the age of 30 lead to better survival rates for patients but fewer and fewer are coming forward.

“It’s really simple to sign up [to the register],” said Rowena Bentley, a spokesperson for the charity.

“You receive a swab in the post and you just need to swap your cheeks and send them back to Antony Nolan. We test those for your unique genetic type and then you sit on the register ready to be a match for a patient in need.”
