Lifesavers gathered at Ickworth House, near Bury St Edmunds, for the first in a series of workshops organised by St John Ambulance.

It was the launch of the third annual Save a Life September campaign which involved free first aid demonstrations. They learnt how to save a life using five easy-to-follow techniques at the session on Sunday and received a free pocket-sized first aid guide.
