Here's eight-year-old Mitchell Taylor picking up a special award this afternoon for saving his mum's life by calling 999 when she suffered a double stroke.
The schoolboy from Old Whittington near Chesterfield, called for an ambulance when he realised his mum, Lauren Taylor, was unable to speak, and followed instructions from the call handler to carry out a stroke test.
An East Midlands Ambulance Service spokeswoman said his "quick-thinking and calm attitude on the phone" helped paramedics get help to his mum within 10 minutes and save her life.
The service said that unknown to 26-year-old Ms Taylor, she had a tumour in her heart and two small pieces had broken off and lodged in different parts of her brain, causing her to suffer a double stroke, which could have killed her.
She's since had heart surgery and has made a full recovery.

Plans for a "Clean Air Zone" for Nottingham, similar to London's congestion charge, have been dropped because the city has improved its pollution levels.
The city was last year named by the government as one of 10 UK cities with "unacceptable" pollution levels and the city council looked at possibly charging some motorists for driving into Nottingham.
However, in the last year the council has introduced low emission bio-gas buses, started converting taxis to cleaner diesel engines and has also changed some of its own fleet to electric or low-emission vehicles.
Image source, Nottingham City CouncilThe Local Democracy Reporting Service reports that because of these actions, Nottingham will now meet its clean air target by 2020 and can drop its "Clean Air Zone" plans.
At a full council meeting yesterday, councillor Sally Longford said the government had told the authority their plans were sufficient enough in reducing emissions and improving air quality.
