A woman wants to thank a kind stranger who saved her grandad's life.
Stephanie Webb said her grandad went to visit the shop on Station Road in Ellesmere Port on Sunday morning to pick up his paper as normal.
However, the 29-year-old said her nan started to become worried when her husband was "taking a while" to come back home.

It was shortly after this that a man knocked on Stephanie's grandparents window to deliver some terrifying news.
Speaking to the ECHO, the 29-year-old said: "My grandad went round for the paper like he does every Sunday, but he was taking a while.
"My nan was a bit worried obviously, but a few minutes later a gentlemen knocked on the window and asked if my nan was grandad's wife."
It was then Stephanie's nan found out her husband had collapsed and a shop assistant was giving him CPR.
The family learned the woman had given Stephanie's grandad CPR for 20 minutes as they waited for an ambulance to arrive.
It was thanks to this quick-thinking that Stephanie's grandad is alive today, she said.
Stephanie said: "When they got to the hospital the nurse, who was looking after my grandad, said to my nan and uncle that the woman saved his life and did an absolute excellent job and he wouldn't have been here if it wasn't for her."
The family want to thank the woman who they believe works in Georges News and Off Licence on Station Road for what she did and hope to find her.
In a post on the Pride in Port Facebook group, she said: "Words cannot describe how grateful me and the rest of my family are to the woman who works in the shop on the Westminster, who saved my Grandad’s life today.
"The CPR you administered today is the reason he is still with us.
"You should be so proud of yourself, you are hero and we will be forever in your debt. Amazing woman and a true representative of ‘pride’ in the town."
Stephanie said she had also recently learned after posting on social media that a man had also reportedly helped the shop assistant administer the CPR.
Speaking to the ECHO Stephanie added: "When I found all that after my nan explained the situation, I wanted to post on Pride in Port because I didn't know who she was.
"We're still not entirely sure but, in a twist of fate, my mum thinks it could have been a childhood friend who done it."
Stephanie and her family also want to share the message of the importance of CPR and hopes their story inspires others.
The 29-year-old, who had previously worked in care for 10 years, is fully trained in first aid and CPR herself and knows the life-saving technique works.
She said: "I have learnt in training that a lot of people are apprehensive about giving CPR to people who are strangers or they don't really know.
"So I think this is a positive story to inspire people do that, even if they are in fear of doing it.
"I found it to be a miracle because the chances are slim anyway, but CPR does work.
"I want to put that message out that it really does work and people should be trained in CPR and if they are, they should have the confidence to do so."
Stephanie said her grandad is now recovering well in hospital.
