Hero holidaymaker saves life of drowning Brit in dramatic Mediterranean sea rescue

A holidaymaker has been hailed a hero after saving the life of an elderly British lady who got into difficulty when swimming in the Mediterranean Sea.

Lee-Bernadette Walford, 53, was sunbathing on a Turkish beach when she heard a German man shouting "medic, medic" from the shoreline.

The former nurse got up to see a body being pulled out of the ocean and immediately sprang into action. Incredibly, she managed to revive the woman - a 79-year-old Brit called Sonya Grist, by administering life-saving CPR.
