An 11-year-old girl has been hailed a hero after saving her little brother's life, using a first aid technique she learnt at school.
Quick-thinking Milly Cadman sprang into action and used the Heimlich manouevre on 9-year-old brother Max, as he choked during a family meal on Monday night.
Just three weeks earlier Milly, a Year 6 pupil at St Aiden's C of E Primary School, Billinge, attended a day-long first aid course.
The youngster was taught how to perform various first aid techniques including the Heimlich manoeuvre and CPR.
Headteacher Melanie Ravenscroft said: "We're all so proud of Milly, and it just shows how valuable basic first aid skills can be.
"She was absolutely brilliant and didn't panic at all, and instantly delivered the vital first aid which Max needed.
"I'm quite sure that Milly's quick reactions saved Max's life.
