WWII Hero Ronald Brignall Celebrated on 100th Birthday for Saving Cardiff City Hall

Ronald Brignall, who prevented a WWII bomb from destroying Cardiff City Hall at 16, receives long-overdue recognition.

Ronald Brignall, a war hero who saved Cardiff City Hall from a WWII bomb using his teeth, is honored on his 100th birthday.
Discovered only recently by his family, Brignall's heroic act in 1941 had remained unspoken for decades.
Brignall, who climbed a drainpipe with a sandbag to extinguish the flames, was officially recognized in a ceremony.
The Lord Mayor of Cardiff presented Brignall with a special certificate, thanking him for his outstanding heroism.
After the war, Brignall served in the RAF and later led a quiet life, his deeds unknown until his centennial celebrations.
