A headteacher has spoken of how he's 'lucky to be here' after his heart stopped in the school playground. Nick Sheeran suffered a cardiac arrest on the last day of term.
But his life was saved by a defibrillator installed at the school after he fell seriously ill at Birkdale Primary School in Southport on July 15 last year. Seven months on from the fateful day, Mr Sheeran came back to work to cheers from the pupils, reports the Liverpool Echo.
The 55-year-old said: "My son had joined me because it was his last day at high school. One of the parents had donated some balloons as well so I went on the yard with my son to hang up the balloons for the children to say one last goodbye when their parents picked them up at 2pm.
