Darlington six-year-old William's quick-thinking helped save his dad Glyn Byard when he suffered a cardiac arrest.
Glyn, 60, and William were at home - with mum Philippa away for work - last November when Glyn suddenly became ill. Glyn had called Philippa to tell her he felt ill, but as she was four hours away, it was up to William to get help.
The brave lad managed to climb to retrieve a front door key before running across to their neighbours and alerting them. Chris Gray, also from Darlington, was renting the barn next door with his family at the time.
