A 19-year-old soldier has become one of the youngest servicemen to receive The George Cross.

Trooper Christopher Finney, who saved a comrade under so-called friendly fire in Iraq, said he was "overwhelmed" after being decorated by the Queen.

Trooper Finney said: "I don't know what was more nerve-racking, receiving this medal or when we were under fire."

The Queen today saluted 96 heroes of the Iraq War at a special Buckingham Palace investiture.

She decorated military and civilian personnel for outstanding bravery in the allied action against Saddam Hussein's regime.
