A 10-year-old girl is being hailed for her bravery after springing into action when her younger sister began having a seizure.
Lucia Charlton has been given a certificate of recognition by North East Ambulance Service for calling 999 with concerns for her two-year-old sister Blake, who is epileptic.
Paramedics Matthew Potts and Ian Lloyd arrived at the home in Gateshead in the early hours of October 19 where Lucia, who was aged just nine at the time, was waiting to lead the pair to young Blake.
