Mellis man: 'life changed in a spilt second'

In 1979, David Rose was living life to the fullest and could never have imagined he would soon stare death in the face.
A motorcycle crash that year led to him losing part of his leg - but it was a vital blood transfusion that saved his life.
The now 68-year-old who lives in Mellis near Eye, Suffolk, donates his own blood and describes it as a "privilege".
In December he successfully made his 100th donation and is urging others to do the same during National Blood Week.
He told his story to Sarah Lilley.
