The Moderate Party leader Ebba Busch was quickly on the scene and tried to help her up with a shocked Prime Minister behind her.

She made a dramatic entrance, Busch notes, and says that the decision to step into the situation was "very simple".

I saw that she was on her way down the hill, and I made my way forward. It's something I've talked a lot about with the kids - what do you do in crisis situations?

She did what she had been trained to do: check the airways and see that life-saving measures are not necessary.

She brings up that she previously lived with a man who suffers from epilepsy, and that she has been trained for crisis situations.

Lann has recovered and is feeling well under the circumstances. She was struck by a blood sugar drop, which caused her to collapse.

I have spoken with her and she is feeling well. She thanks for all the care and consideration, says Busch.
