20 h. ago Caught up in a violent attack, would you be a hero – or would you run? Both can be valuable | Emma Kavanagh

Last weekend’s Cambridgeshire train attack brought up a question that we often ask ourselves. But the answer isn’t simple Emma Kavanagh is a psychologist who has worked for the police and the militaryThe devastating attack on train passengers in Cambridgeshire last weekend was shocking. There has been talk of heroes who risked their lives to help others, and of those who hid to save their lives. If you are anything like me, you will be asking yourself: what if that were me? How would I cope? And just who would I turn out to be when the worst happens?Some of us imagine that we would vault to the rescue, fighting off attackers. Others, perhaps the more realistic among us, anticipate flight, extricating ourselves from the situation as quickly and efficiently as possible. Most of us would like to think that we would stay our urge to run, lingering long enough to offer aid to those in need.Emma Kavanagh is a psychologist who worked for many years for the police and military.

3 d. ago Melanie and Janet behind the beauty store counter: Victor Wedderburn’s best photograph

‘Melanie was my then wife – I couldn’t earn enough from photography, so we got a bank loan and opened the shop, with Janet as a partner. My photos from that time feel important now because that community is gone’This picture was taken in our beauty shop in Bradford, called Shade. Janet (right) was a friend of my then wife Melanie (left). I’d spent a good two years taking photos and I enjoyed it, not that I thought my work was good enough to be shown in an art gallery. I couldn’t earn enough from photography to cover the costs of the materials, so we decided to get a bank loan and open the shop instead, with Janet as a partner.I first got into photography in 1983, aged 28, after I was made redundant from my truck-driving job.
