The family of a popular Buckley motorcyclist have spoken of their gratitude after a lifesaving piece of equipment was installed in the town.

Mark Harrison (Harry) died on December 20 last year, after suffering a heart attack. He was 54.

His sister Wendy Roberts, quality manager at Tata Steel Shotton, received a defibrillator which was donated by her employers.

The device was fitted on the front wall of Buckley Working Men's Social Club in Lane End in recent months.

Mark's parents, Barbara and John Harrison, have said they hope it will help those who may need it in the future.

They said: "We would like to thank Calon Hearts Charity for supplying the cover, Steve Thomas of SPT Electricals for the free installation, Stephen Blackwell Stonemasons for the free donation of the plaque, the chairman and committee of Buckley Working Men's Social Club and Cllr David Ellis for allowing this to happen.

"We would also like to take this opportunity to thank all of our family and friends who made donations to the Calon Hearts Charity."

Cllr Ellis, a Defibrillator Champion in the town, said: "Since the defibrillator was installed, it has been utilized twice.

"My involvement as Defibrillator Champion was to arrange the installation and ensure it was fit for purpose in an emergency.

"I am delighted to assist and that we now have this life saving equipment available for the community.

"A big thankyou to all involved."
