Burgess Hill based photographer Graham Franks, who submitted this picture to the Middy, said: “KSS Air Ambulance Charity Kent Surrey Sussex, were demonstrating how to use a defibrillator because knowing how to use one could save a person’s life, as every second counts if you know what to do. The demonstrations attracted a lot of interest in The Orchards and passers-by were encouraged to try ‘hands on’.”
