A brave five-year-old girl stayed with her unconscious mum all night then walked to school in a princess dress, a crown and wellie boots and told her teacher 'mummy can't wake up'.
Poppy Davies was prancing around in her princess dress at her home in Pontllanfraith, near Blackwood in Wales, when her mum Leisha collapsed and lost consciousness, Wales Online reports. Leisha, 35, had gone into septic shock.
