Tribute for rescue boy
an autistic teenager who risked his life to save a boy from an icy lake will be congratulated by Gordon Brown.

Mark Buckley will make the trip to 10 Downing Street in November after being crowned a national life saver at the Vodafone Life Savers Awards.

The awards were launched to honour unsung heroes.-view article
