Harry sprang into action when he heard his mum downstairs making strange noises at around 3.45am. He quickly comforted his mum whilst calling 999, relaying all the details to the 999 ambulance calltaker about his mum, her condition and their address. Harry also unlocked the door so the paramedics could get in when they arrived.
