A couple who saved the lives of four children and two adults have been praised for their "heroic bravery" after a boat exploded on the River Thames.

Josh Hobbs, 35, and Hannah Lloyd-Hobbs, 34, from Rhayader, Powys, leapt into the water to save six people after the boat burst into flames.

The couple were walking along the Thames with their dog near Lechlade while on holiday on the Wiltshire-Oxfordshire border on Saturday 31 May when the incident took place.

Det Supt Joe Garrity, of Wiltshire Police, said it was a "miracle" there were no fatalities, adding much of that was down to the response of the couple.
