I'm somewhat dismayed to see people here dissing Q.
He did the right thing(s) in a difficult situation for which he was physically and mentally and personally prepared. Character, in a word.
Sure, it's not the stuff of a George Cross, but he did the right things and he made a beneficial difference in a situation which could so easily have had several much worse outcomes in the hands of a lesser man.
Good on 'im, I say.
I'd much rather see him step forward to receive an honour from a livery company in the City than that much less worthy woman who so falsely made so many claims of her own achievements. I think that that particular dining and dressing society could perhaps partly redeem themselves by recognising Q with a small metal disc and some nice words in recognition of what he actually did when things so suddenly turned to ****.
