THE heroic actions of two Clitheroe men, which saved eight-year- old cousins from drowning, have receiv­


ed a royal accolade. The committee of the


Lancashire branch of the Royal Life Saving Society voted the efforts of Mr Andrew Townsend and Mr Russell Boyd in successful­ ly plucking schoolgirls Asah Bibi and Zabina Khanom, both of Clitheroe, from the River Ribble as its "Rescue


of 2000". In a special ceremony at


the Hutton headquarters of Lancashire Police, the soci­ ety honoured the modest duo by presenting each with a marble plaque in recognition of their bravery. Watched by proud fami­


ly and friends, as well as a host of county dignitaries,


both Mr Townsend, of Kemple View, and Mr Boyd, of Low Moor, were praised for the speed of their response in plunging into the water as soon as they spotted that the girls were experiencing difficul­


ties. Their dramatic rescue


happened on a sunny evening last July, as both were strolling with their families on the Ribble's banks near Edisford Bridge. The two girls were among other children playing and swimming in the river, but fun turned to fear when they moved from the shal­ lows to a deeper pool. One of the girls was brought from the water uncon­ scious. Admitting to a tear in


Ribble, Coun. Graham Davies, Mrs Amanda Townsend said: "I was so proud of Andrew and also, Russell. We have become good friends of Asah's fami­ ly. They came to our house with a card on Christmas day and we have also had dinner with them." At the award ceremony,

Do you recall


50s and 60s? THE last Testimony Films series, Some Like it Hot, the postwar history of the British on holiday, went out in January on ITV to popular and critical acclaim. A follow-up series, Living in the
