Dan Barr Receives High Sheriff Award for Stopping Liverpool Parade Attack

On Thursday, the builder's labourer from Birkenhead was presented with the High Sheriff's Award for Bravery at Liverpool Crown Court for his actions during a mass incident.
During Liverpool FC's Premier League title parade on May 26 last year, Paul Doyle, 54, drove into crowds on Water Street, injuring 134 people and later pleaded guilty to multiple violent offences.
Dan Barr, 41, climbed into the Ford Galaxy through the rear passenger door and moved the gear stick to park, then pressed the seatbelt buckle after a scuffle that left him with cuts to his head.
High Sheriff Billy Hui handed Barr a framed certificate, with the court praising his actions for reducing further harm, and Recorder Andrew Menary KC said `What you did that day mattered`.
The award positions Barr's actions as an example of civic responsibility, with the court recognising his calm courage and the resilience and solidarity of the people of Liverpool during a large public celebration.
