A five-year-old boy who helped save his diabetic mum's life is to be honoured for his heroics.

And little Nathan Anstice is set to be reunited with the ambulance crew who revived his mother Mandy after she collapsed in the street having suffered a diabetic hypoglycemic attack.

The Telegraph & Argus revealed yesterday how Nathan, of Bradford Road, Shipley, had been praised by the emergency services for remaining cool, calm and collected under pressure.

The youngster helped summon an ambulance and played a vital role in ensuring his mother received immediate treatment.

Now officials at the West Yorkshire Metropolitan Ambulance Service (WYMAS) are inviting Nathan and his mother to meet paramedic Paul Mayo and technician Gwen Clough at an ambulance station.

And they also plan to present the Wycliffe CofE Primary School pupil with a commendation.

A WYMAS spokesman said: "Because Nathan was so calm and able to provide valuable information to the ambulance crew we'd like to invite him to look round Bradford Ambulance Station - he'll have another chance to meet the crew who'd like to present him with a letter of commendation.''

Mrs Anstice, who has dubbed her son 'my little hero', said: "He keeps telling everyone how much he loved his ride in the ambulance with the blue lights flashing and would be thrilled to bits to meet the crew and visit the station.

"I'll never forget what he did but in time the details of what happened will probably fade a bit in his memory so it would be lovely for him to have the certificate as a reminder of what he did.

"When we meet them we'll be saying a big thank you to the crew for the way they looked after me.''

Mrs Anstice said she and her husband, Andrew, had made sure Nathan knew his name, age and address, as well as basic information about her diabetes, from an early age, adding: "I'd dreaded anything like this happening because I didn't think he'd be able to deal with it but now it has it's a real weight off my mind to know he can cope quite happily in an emergency.''

Mr Mayo said: "When we arrived Nathan was sat next to his mum and told us what had happened, what medication she took and when, which helped us with the quick treatment of her diabetes.''
