A West Lothian mum has heaped praise on young retail worker after her quick-thinking helped her through a very public accident.
Tammy Evans, 35, was out shopping with her youngest daughter Braylynn, as she prepared for a weekend trip away to Craig Tara Holiday Park.
As she scoured the poster shelves in HMV for some presents for her son's birthday, she noticed the ten-month-old had began to gargle in an unusual fashion.

And almost in a flash, the youngster projectile-vomited all over the buggy and floor of the Livingston branch of HMV.
Shop worker Jasmine, 18, jumped into action to help the mum-of-four and her kind nature led to Tammy praising her to her supervisor - and also on social media.
Speaking to Edinburgh Live, Tammy recalled the accident, and shared how grateful she was for the young worker stepping in to help.
Tammy, who hails from Carmondean in Livingston, said: "I usually don't take all my children down to Livingston Centre, as my partner works from home and can take care of them when I'm doing the big shop.
"However, we were going away for the weekend to celebrate my son's birthday, and I decided to take Braylynn with me as I was only popping down for a few bits and bobs.
"We went into HMV, as my son wanted some posters for his room for his birthday, so I headed to the shelves to look at them.
"I then heard Braylynn make a faint gargling noise, so I touched her cheek and checked up on her, as the flu and other bugs are rife among the kids right now.
"All of a sudden, she just began projectile vomiting everywhere. All over herself, the pram, and the floor of the shop."
Tammy went into mum mode straight away to try and clear up the mess surrounding her, while checking that the little one was okay - when Jasmine stepped right in.
The mum-of-four continued: "Jasmine just came right over, no hesitation, and offered to help me out. She said she could clean Braylynn, as well as the floors, and just was so kind and helpful.
"I was so surprised, as she is such a young girl, and most people would be a bit apprehensive, given that it was a baby's vomit - not exactly something people want to be around!
"She left to go get me some cleaning things to sort the floor, and the little one out, but she didn't just leave it at that.
"Every two minutes she was over checking in on me, asking if there was anymore she could do, it was just such a nice thing to see.
"People had been heading down my way, but once they'd saw the scene, they were quick to head in a different direction - but not Jasmine.
"It just shows that there are still a whole load of good people in the world, that are willing to help out when people need it."
Tammy, who is mum to Shane, 11, Olly, 9, Keeva, 7, and ten-month-old Braylynn, admitted that going out can be daunting with all the children.
She added: "It can be daunting to head to the shops with all the kids, which is why I don't tend to do it - but even one child can be a lot.
"I also think that people can be quick to jump on the negative train when it comes to retail stores, and workers, and can sometimes overlook all the positive things people do.
"That's why I posted my status, to raise awareness to the wonderful act of kindness Jasmine did, and how much it really helped me."
Jasmine herself has been left touched by Tammy's praise, and had a little something to say herself. The 18-year-old said: "I’m more than happy to help people out who are in need, I think one of the most important things in life is treating people with kindness and respect - you never know how much they may be struggling.
"Having baby cousins and hearing stories from my own Mum, I know being a Mother can be difficult at times and a lot of things that happen are only accidents.
"If I can help in any way possible and make things easier I’m more than willing!"
