A Glasgow hero who rescued thousands of people from the River Clyde has made a plea for better safety measures after the tragic death of three boys in the West Midland drownings.
On Sunday afternoon, three boys died after falling into the lake at Kinghurst with a six year-old boy in hospital fighting for his life. The youngsters fell into the lake after the ice snapped before they were pulled from the freezing waters by emergency services, with one cop said to have 'punched through ice' to reach them.
In the wake of the tragedy, George Parsonage has recalled the time he recovered the bodies of three young boys when he was just 14 years old on the first rescue mission he undertook with his father in the 1950s, the Daily Record reports.
