A North Yorkshire couple want to thank the passing "angels of the North" who stepped in when their 48th wedding anniversary almost took a tragic turn on a Northumberland beach
Murray and Jill Leslie were holidaying at Embleton on the beautiful Northumberland coast. On a walk along the beach in the shadow of Cramlington with their dog, Murray, 78, collapsed. He was unconscious for a few minutes.
Jill quickly got her husband into the recovery position, but said that it was only thanks to speedy help from passers-by on the beach, then the work of the coastguard, ambulance service and support from staff at the Dunstanburgh Castle Hotel and the nearby golf course, helped get Murray safely to hospital in Cramlington.
