THE CATEGORY WINNERS ARE:

18-year Rebecca Bunce from Reading won for her Kung Fu Puffins shot of the seabirds tussling on Skomer Island, Pembrokeshire, Wales, and 10-year-old Seren Waite from London scooped top prize for a shot called Cygnet with Swan. Police cars should carry defibrillators, say the parents of a 16-year-old cyclist who died after a crash.

Gordon and Sandra Mckandie believe the device, which shocks the heart back into action after a cardiac arrest, could have saved the life of their son.

Mrs Mckandie, 47, works as a nurse and resuscitation officer, making her acutely aware of what could have been done. Her son Keiran died in March after he was involved in an accident with a car while riding his bike on the outskirts of Elgin.

It took an ambulance almost half an hour to reach him, nearly four times the average response time for the region. He died at the scene.

His parents believe his chances of survival would have been increased if emergency services all carried life-saving equipment on board.

They are now campaigning to have defibrillators installed in police fast response cars and are pushing for improvements to how emergency services co-ordinate their response.

Mrs Mckandie said: “Sometimes police fast response cars get to an accident before an ambulance does.”

She added: “Having that equipment there gives people the maximum chance of survival.”
