The air ambulance was called after a man in his 30s suffered convulsions at lunchtime on Good Friday.

She said on Twitter: 'Fortunately I have my level 3 emergency first aid & also an off-duty nurse was helping.

'I'm glad I could help him to stay stable while waiting for the ambulance who were fantastic, I must say - shook my hand and thanked me when they arrived.'

Her friend on social media, Karl Newson added: 'That's great. Just proves the training came in handy. You helped him and them. So no wonder thay shook your hand. Well done to you both. Bet there are a lot of people thanking you both for saving his life. And in a shop full of people.'

As reported, the man fell in the store and banged his head.

A spokesman for the East of England Ambulance Service said: 'We were called just before 12.38pm to a report of a patient who was having convulsions in Kingston Road, Dereham

'The East Anglian air ambulance was dispatched.
