Meet This Morning's Pride of Britain winners!

Pc Leon Mittoo and Pc James Willett have won This Morning's Emergency Services Pride of Britain Award!

Reporting from West Bromwich Police Station, Josie Gibson surprised our winners with the news!

Speaking about the award and the frenzied attack, Pc Leon said: "I'm actually lost for words, I don't know what to say.

We both got really lucky, we both got injuries to the head. With what they had on them I think someone out there is looking down on us because it could have been a lot worse."

On winning the award, Pc James added: "I don't think it is something you ever expect to get. You just don't even expect to be nominated for something like that."

Describing their heroic actions, Pc Leon said: "It's what we all do as police officers, every single person in the organisation. It's just police work."

The officers were on one of their first patrols when they heroically put their lives at danger during a brutal knife attack in West Bromwich town centre on the morning of 21 July last year. Find out more about their story:
