THIS is the touching moment a woman who survived the London Bridge terror attack is reunited with the hero who saved her life.
Eliana Caroccia, 40, was with friends in a restaurant when three knife-wielding jihadis stormed in.
And Roy Larner, who was drinking at the bar, took them on despite being unarmed - giving Eliana and dozens more time to flee.
Football fan Roy, 53, famously roared, "F**k you, I'm Millwall" as he threw punches and became known as the Lion of London Bridge.
Yesterday, on the sixth anniversary of the atrocity, he and Eliana embraced for the first time and shared their story at an emotionallycharged meeting in Paris.
Italian Eliana said: "Roy is my hero, he saved my life.
"His actions gave us the time to escape. I would not be here today without his bravery. I will be forever grateful to him."
CONSEQUENCES
Roy added: "It feels great to meet Eliana and to know I did something to help her. The more people like Eliana who get in touch makes me realise just how many lives I saved that night.
"It was something I had to do. I didn't think about the consequences.
I just knew I had to stop them." The three Islamic State fanatics hired a van to mow down Saturdaynight crowds on London Bridge before crashing on June 3, 2017.
