For Nostalgia this week, we take a trip down memory lane to look at top stories around Bracknell at the start of 1996. January saw North Ascot schoolgirl Alex Clayton lauded after she saved a baby’s life with her quick thinking. The 16-year-old was a Year 11 boarder at the Licensed Victuallers School, in Fernbank Road, but returned home to Canterbury to do a week’s work experience with Kent Police. She was out with an officer when they were waved down by a young man who begged them to help an anxious mother whose baby was “blue and lifeless”. Thankfully, Alex remembered the lifesaving course they did at school and saved his life. She then monitored his breathing while the ambulance arrived.

The Licensed Trade Charity (LTC), of which Prince Philip was a patron, has said its staff, trustees and volunteers have paid tribute to Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, following his death on Friday 9 April.
The charity said it had a strong and historic relationship with the Royal Family over 180 years and was honoured to have Prince Philip as its figurehead.
The Duke of Edinburgh was patron of Licensed Victuallers’ National Homes and when it merged with the Society of Licensed Victuallers in 2004 to become the LTC, he maintained his association and became the LTC patron.
He recognised charity volunteers for their time given with a number of them attending the Buckingham Palace Garden Party.
