A PCSO who helped to save a man’s life after he had collapsed at Manchester Airport has been given a prestigious award.
PCSO Marc Brooks was presented with the Liverpool Shipwreck and Humane Society Award at a ceremony at Accrington Town Hall.
The 24-year-old was waiting for a flight, which had been delayed in last year’s volcanic ash crisis.
He said: “When faced with a situation like this, you just do what you can to help.
“I was really pleased I could help the man and am happy to have been recognised.”
Chief Superintendent Bob Eastwood said: “Marc has shown great skill and composure in a very challenging situation.
"I am extremely proud of what he has achieved and he is a credit to both the constabulary and the community.”
