'We had to do something': teacher who came to flooded Doncaster's rescue

Mark Ibbertson and his son helped children, elderly people and a hedgehog to safety

When the floodwaters rose in Bentley in Doncaster on Friday last week, Mark Ibbertson and his teenage son Logan ventured out with their summer holiday dinghy and began to rescue people from their homes.

By the end of the day they had taken to safety more than 20 people, including babies and older people, and even a hedgehog.
