An Edinburgh mum has praised hero restaurant staff that stepped in to save her life after she collapsed at her daughter's wedding.
Irene Swan, 77, from Portobello was celebrating her daughter Marie's wedding, which had twice been cancelled due to Covid, at an intimate ceremony at the Sun Inn, Dalkeith when she fell ill during the reception dinner.
The family just sat down to eat when the mother of the bride fainted due to heart issues. Luckily the staff working the event stayed calm and provided the correct medical care and got a defibrillator from next door to save the mum's life.
