Like most of those tuning in, Jayne Biggs watched on in horror on Saturday as Danish footballer Christian Eriksen collapsed during his nation s clash with Finland.
But Mrs Biggs, 50, from Gorleston, knew better than most that the paramedics on hand had a life-saving piece of kit up their sleeve.
That s because she is behind a charity, Heart 2 Heart, which is responsible for the installation of more than 250 defibrillators across Norfolk and Suffolk.
Her motivation for starting the charity was borne out of firsthand experience. Mrs Biggs herself is a lifesaver, having resuscitated her 15-year-old daughter Violet, who had a cardiac arrest on February 23, 2013, aged just six.
