A Norfolk man has written a heartfelt letter to the lifeboat crew who saved his life 50 years ago to tell them: I owe you everything.
Martin Stephen, then aged 21, almost died when he jumped into the sea to try and rescue his cousin David Jeffrey, 11, who had been swept off the rocks at the entrance to Dunbar harbour on December 23, 1970.
