The "massively proud" partner of Australian woman Kirsty Boden, who was killed during the London Bridge terrorist attack, says her legacy will live on in a new nursing scholarship.
Ms Boden, originally from Loxton in South Australia, was murdered as she tried to help other victims of the atrocity in June.
In the days after the attack, some British media outlets dubbed her the "Angel of London Bridge".
Ms Boden's partner, James Hodder, is still "struggling each day" but spoke to the media for the first time since the attack in London.
"Kirsty was a selfless person — that was one of her many amazing traits," Mr Hodder said.
"The way in which she passed away exemplifies who she was as a person, which makes it incredibly hard for all of us.
"We are all massively, massively proud of her and we always will be proud of her."
To honour Ms Boden's memory, the South Australian Government will set up the Kirsty Boden Memorial Nursing Scholarship for regional students in their final year of study.
For at least the next five years, two people at Flinders University will be awarded $10,000 each.
Ms Boden studied at Flinders University and then moved to London to work as a senior nurse at Guy's and St Thomas' Hospital.
"The scholarship is a fitting tribute and lasting legacy for Kirsty," South Australian Premier Jay Weatherill said.
"In years to come, nursing students from regional South Australia just like Kirsty will get the support they need so they can carry on her legacy of loving care."
Speaking on behalf of Ms Boden's family, Mr Hodder said "Kirsty loved being a nurse" and the scholarship gave them "some comfort".
"Kirsty would be very proud to know that her name is being associated with nursing," he said.
"She liked helping people."
Mr Weatherill also placed a wreath on London Bridge in memory of Ms Boden.
