A RETIRED farmer has given his 175th pint of blood, but is not stopping at that amazing milestone.
Leslie Rowley, 83, who has been donating for 60 years, is now planning to hit the 200 mark.
The great-grandad is already one of the nation's most prolific donors.
He was cheered at the donation clinic when he got to 175 pints. Volunteers presented him with a crystal decanter and an engraved glass dish.
Leslie said: "It did make me a bit shy.
I had tears rolling down my face." He began donating in 1964 after witnessing an accident at work.
