and I have more children.

“I want to thank the Slovak cus-
toms and volunteers who took care
of my son and helped him cross
the border.

“I am grateful you have saved my
child’s life. Next to my town is a
nuclear power plant that the Rus-
sians are shooting at.

“I couldn’t leave my mother, she
can’t move on her own.”

Julia then paid tribute to Slova-
kia, saying: “People with a big
heart live in your small country.”

Local reports last night suggested
that Hasan’s siblings had also made
it to the border.

The Slovakia Interior Ministry
said: “The whole world has been
touched by the story of this
11-year-old boy. He fled the war all
by himself. His mum had to stay
with her mum, who is immobile.

“Many took care of the boy,
including police, soldiers, customs
officers, volunteers and various reli-
gious or civilian organisations.

“The boy was provided with
transport to Bratislava to see his
family.”

They added: “He is the biggest
hero. With one plastic bag, a pass-
port and a telephone number writ-
ten on his hand, he came all alone
because his mum had to stay.

“He won over all the volunteers
at the border. Thanks to the num-
ber on his hand and a piece of
paper in his waist, he managed to
contact his loved ones, who later
came for him.

“The whole story ended well.”
Eduard Filo, of the Association of
Christian Youth Communities which
is helping Hasan’s family, said:
“We’re looking for ways to get his
mum and his disabled grandmother
to safety. Hasan and his siblings
are safe in Slovakia.
“He is staying in the prayers
for all the families affected
by this war and wishing all
the people helping a lot of
strength and love.”
The huge tally of refu-
gees — mostly women and
children — have escaped
from Ukraine in just 12

QUEEN’S

BLUE &

YELLOW

BLOOMS

By HARRY COLE and
MATT WILKINSON

THE Queen put on a subtle dis-
play of support for Ukraine as
she posed in front of blue and
yellow flowers when she met
Canadian PM Justin Trudeau.

The bouquet arranged for the
95-year-old’s first face-to-face
meeting since catching Covid
matched Ukraine’s flag.

And a senior royal source said
of the Windsor Castle meeting:
“Very little tends to happen
by accident.”

Her Majesty looked back to
her best after her “mild cold-
like symptoms” from Covid and
had no need for a walking stick.

Later, asked at a meeting in
Downing Street if the Queen was
“fighting fit”, Mr Trudeau said
“she was as insightful and per-
spicacious as ever”.

He told reporters: “I have had
the particular privilege of having
known Her Majesty for about 45
years now.”

He added she was “very inter-
ested in what’s going on, asked
me all sorts of questions about
Canada and we had a really use-
ful, for me anyway, conversation
about global events — as we
always do.

“I was able to talk about the
situations we are facing and
draw on her long experience
from having seen so much over
these past decades.”

Mr Trudeau, 50, first met the
Queen as a child in the 1970s
when his father Pierre was
Canada’s premier.

Her Majesty has already made
a “generous donation” to help
the Ukrainian people through
