Mathew James threw himself in front of the hail of bullets to protect partner Saera, and was shot in the shoulder chest and hip



A proud mum has paid tribute to her heroic son who took three bullets to protect his fiancée during the Tunisian beach massacre
Gas engineer Mathew James - known as 'Sas' - is in a "stable and comfortable condition" after returning to Britain from Tunisia.
The 30-year-old used his body as a human shield to protect Saera Wilson from being killed by a terrorist gunman during Friday's shocking massacre.
Now his mother Kathyrn Matthews has spoken about her son's brave act of sacrifice.
She said: "I am so proud of him. After being the first to be shot and making sure Saera got to safety, he held the hand of an elderly gent.
“Sas and Saera are back on home turf and safe. He’s in good spirits and is getting the very best of care.
"It was the most fantastic feeling seeing Saera step off the plane and Sas stretchered off … [they are] back where they belong."
In a statement released yesterday morning his family said: “Mathew is currently in a stable and comfortable condition – and he and his fiancée Saera are doing well, and are happy to be back in the UK.
"They wish to thank all of the medical teams in both Tunisia and the UK for all of their professional assistance, care and support.
"They would also like to thank everyone involved in ensuring their safe return to the UK and the support shown by family, friends and the public."

Saera and Mathew, from Trehafod, South Wales, jetted out to Sousse on June 21 for a two-week break, but Mathew was shot in the shoulder, chest and hip during Friday's rampage.
Saera, 26, has told how Mathew “took a bullet” for her by protecting her from the gunman.
She then fled for her life after he told her: “I love you babe. But just go – tell our children that their daddy loves them.”
Sarah found Matthew was in hospital after an agonising three-hour wait not knowing if he had survived.
She stayed next to his bed in hospital instead of returning to the hotel – but described it as complete chaos.

Beautician Saera was left with just the beach clothes she was wearing after the shooting horror.
She said: “I had to leave everything on the beach – my bag, money, everything – and just go.
“I can’t go back to the hotel and I have nothing but what I’m wearing now.”
She said: “No-one knows what was going on. We have had to draw pictures to try to find out.
“We are due to get married in the summer of 2017. We will be the luckiest people alive because we have witnessed what no-one ever should see. Ever.”

Saera revealed on Saturday that the couple were trying to keep Mathew's heroic actions from their children Tegan, six, and Kaden, 14 months, because they don't want them to worry.
Sarah said: “We don’t want the children to know anything about it and how daddy has been hurt.
“We’ve asked our families not to let them watch the television so they don’t ask any questions.
“They know we are in Tunisia and we don’t want them to worry. We just want to get back to them and give them a big hug.”
