The 62-year-old US Vietnam War veteran who was born and raised in Hayle, helped save the lives of 2,700 people by ensuring they evacuated the World Trade Center south tower before it collapsed after being hit by one of two hijacked airliners.

Headteacher at Penpol School, Paul Hodson, said: "We only get to see Susan about once a year so we are planning a little assembly for her."
