A much-loved West Lothian dad tragically died while on holiday with his family in the Peak District.
Steven Carrie was only 34 when he passed away following a cardiac arrest two years ago and now his family have ensured help is available to others by donating a defibrillator to the local community.
The family of Steven, a former Sky worker from Livingston, believe not having quicker access to emergency medical support was a key factor in his passing and have donated the life-saving equipment for use at Crofthead Community Centre in Templar Rise.

The defibrillator has been installed in sight of the family's former home where Steven lived growing up for 20 years and can be seen from his former bedroom, reports the West Lothian Courier.
Andrew Carrie, Steven's dad, explains: "We are absolutely delighted that the defibrillator has been installed in tribute to Steven.
"Whilst it's dedicated in honour of Steven's memory, it has a very real purpose and it is there to be used by someone in need. Even if it only helps one person, it will be worth having it installed.
"I'd like to thank the council and management committee for their support in helping us make this possible. I would also like to acknowledge Steven's former employer, Sky, as they too have been amazing."
The family has worked with West Lothian Council to install the life saving device and ensure that it is easy to access should it be needed in an emergency.
The council is also undertaking work to ensure all defibrillators in West Lothian are promoted via national websites, such as the British Heart Foundation.
The management committee have registered the defib at Crofthead with the appropriate body so it is registered and can be found online.
