    Lincoln's Knights Trail is proving so popular the group behind it have opened a Knights-themed pop-up shop in the city centre.

    It opened on Cornhill over the weekend - hosting a variety of knight-themed activities over the summer holidays including a treasure hunt and make-your-own shields, flags and swords.

    Sarah Corrigan who works there, says dozens of people have visited so far, and it's bound to get busier:

    If people want to pick up the trail, if they want to collect their reward they can get them from us. If they're stuck and can't find one they can get help here as well, alongside the activities as well.

    Now you may not know, but if you suffer a cardiac arrest, heart attack or heart failure in Lincolnshire you will be treated at the Lincolnshire Heart Centre.

    It's been surpassing the national averages, take a look at this:

    So even if you collapse outside Boston Pilgrim Hospital with a heart problem, you will still be taken to the centre at Lincoln County Hospital.

    Alun Roebuck, Consultant Nurse in Cardiology, says that bringing services into one location has allowed them to help people with complicated, high-risk conditions.

    If you have a cardiac arrest or heart attack in Boston, if you are taken to a local hospital then you are twice as likely to die than if you're taken to a specialist hospital.
