Daniel Peden, who was on an Easter trip to the city from his home in Manchester, became a lifesaver when eight-year-old Ross Hunter became too interested in a toy floating in the Union Canal and fell in.

His head was disappearing under the water and despite being a strong swimmer he could not pull himself out.

But Daniel, who had been feeding ducks nearby, heard the boy's frantic splashing and ran to his aid.

"I ran to a little ledge and tried to grab him. I got his arm and pulled him against the ledge and he pressed his feet against it and was able to get out."

"When I got him out he was crying because he'd had such a fright. I took him home and his mum thanked me."

Daniel, from Manchester, was on holiday and staying with his aunt whose home overlooks the canal when the incident happened on Monday.
