Mary Bridson receives award after 68 years voluntary work
A British Empire Medal has been awarded to a St John Ambulance volunteer on the Isle of Man.
Mary Bridson from Douglas has been serving with the charity for 68 years, having joined as a cadet when she was 11.
She received the honour at a special ceremony at Government House, and said the recognition was "very unexpected" as she was named in the New Year Honours List.
Mrs Bridson hopes to continue working for the charity as long as she can, having already taught hundreds how to save lives, and says retiring is "not on her agenda".
