A quick response by two Eastbourne Royal National Lifeboat Institution (RNLI) volunteers helped save the life of a two-year-old child on Saturday, April 8. Coxswain Mark Sawyer and his son David sprang into action after being alerted about a non-breathing child on the beach near the all-weather lifeboat station at Sovereign Harbour.
The pair, who were at the lifeboat station by chance as David was dropping Mark off after a day out together, were approached by a manager from Sovereign Harbour. The manager had received a call from a concerned member of the public who had spotted the RNLI flag above the boathouse and sought help.
