A headteacher's heart stopped when he suffered a cardiac arrest in the schoolyard on the final day of term.
Nick Sheeran says he is lucky to be alive after his life was saved by a defibrillator installed at the school when he fell seriously ill at Birkdale Primary School in Southport on July 15 last year.
He has now returned to school seven months on, with pupils erupting into cheers as he walked out into an assembly to welcome him back. Speaking to the ECHO, Mr Sheeran described how he was lucky to still be alive thanks to the vital equipment.
