Football legend David Seaman and over 200 supporters came together to shine a spotlight on hidden heart conditions and their impact on the nation.
The former England goalkeeper posed in front of a stand at Crystal Palace's Selhurst Park ground which had 180 empty seats in the shape of a heart.
This represented number of lives lost in the UK to coronary heart disease each day – one every eight minutes. Video via SWNS.

You make your way round to the right.
00:19
Yeah, perfect.
00:20
Just up the end.
00:21
Fantastic.
00:22
Oh, yeah, we're there.
00:23
So what brings you here today?
00:25
Well, I had a heart attack.
00:27
No way.
00:27
Yeah.
00:29
When I had my heart attack at the age of 27,
00:32
I didn't expect it to happen.
00:33
I didn't see it coming.
00:34
I had no symptoms beforehand.
00:37
And then within a couple of hours,
00:39
my whole world just sort of flipped upside down.
00:43
Unfortunately, I had a heart attack about three years ago.
00:46
It was very sudden, out of the blue.
00:49
I went for a 10K run.
00:50
I came home.
00:52
About an hour later, I started feeling really unwell.
00:55
So we're here today to shine a spotlight on heart
00:58
diseases.
00:59
But it looks like we're one seat short.
01:02

Each day, around 180 people die from coronary heart disease
01:20
in the UK, a heart condition that affects people
01:22
across the country.
01:23
That's 180 lives lost every day.
01:26
180 empty seats.
01:30
I think it is super important that things like today happen.
01:34
I think it's important that people
01:36
know about the symptoms so they can get
01:38
themselves urgent treatment.
01:40
This September, British Heart Foundation
01:42
is shining a spotlight on hidden heart conditions.
01:45
Give your stories, give your time,
01:48
and if you can, donate your money.
01:50
Together, we can bring hidden heart conditions into focus
01:54
and find breakthroughs that can help outsmart them
01:56
for good.
