Pearl and Amelia were alone with their 36-year-old mother Carole last summer when she suffered a seizure and lost consciousness.

Paramedics arrived in less than five minutes, followed by an ambulance crew who took Carole to hospital.

She had suffered a life-threatening bleed on her brain but has since made a good recovery.

Paramedics are urging parents to make sure their children know how to dial 999 in an emergency.
