Harper is only eight. But her quick thinking saved her nana's life

When her nana took ill, eight-year-old Harper Danson knew exactly what to do. She remembered what she had learned in class and realised her grandma needed help fast.

Her quick actions, and maturity beyond her years saved her nana's life and earned her "super hero" status amongst fellow pupils at her primary school in Salford.

Harper, and one-year-old brother, Jase, were visiting Susan Danson, 71. But when their mother, Rachel Wynn, 37, left the house to nip to the shops an emergency unfolded.

With her nana Susan suffering a stroke, Harper was quick to remember the lesson she had from her teacher Laura Sharrock two years ago on how to deal with an emergency without an adult.

Harper said: "I knew Mrs Sharrock taught me how to know what to do. So I texted my Mum, and sent her a video with the time on it and went outside to get my nana's friend."

Harper's instincts to film her grandmother in that dramatic moment allowed doctors and paramedics to know exactly when her nana began suffering her stroke.

She added: "Because I took that video, the time on it allowed them to give her the right medicine."

Following Harper receiving a certificate for bravery from the school, her mother, Rachel, spoke proudly of her daughter's quick thinking and the difference it
