A NORTHALLERTON man's dedication to helping the national blood donor service has earned him an honour.
Dr David Severs became the proud owner of a crystal goblet, in recognition of the 75 donations he has made over the past 44 years.
The retired police chief superintendent is not resting on his laurels.
He said he was hoping to exceed 100 donations before his 70th birthday.
Dr Severs said: "Much has not changed. Giving blood is still as painless, and it still gives the same satisfaction."
