'Father’s Day will be extra special and I think it will really hit me that dad may not have been here if we hadn’t done what we did.'

A dad who almost died from cardiac arrest just before lockdown says he is ‘thanking his lucky stars’ he is alive for Father’s Day.

Paul, a former journalist and features writer, said: ‘People don’t really understand, and assume it’s the sort of thing that only happens to someone else.‘Things look a lot different as soon as you have been through it and I’ve since been blown away by number of people who do know someone who’s been in that position.‘My daughter literally parked all the emotion of seeing her dad go crashing down onto the squash court floor, and instead swung into action in a way that saved my life.

‘They couldn’t see what had happened because there was a wall between the courts. Dad’s eyes were rolling back in his head and making a strange noise.’
