Kevin Murphy interviews twelve year-old Kelly Taylor from Woolwich in south London during a carol service at Westminster Abbey, where the Duchess of York awarded twelve children with Children of Courage awards for endurance and bravery. Kelly lost both her parents in the Zeebrugge ferry disaster (06/03/87) and then six months later had to have her left leg amputated because of a birth defect.
