On 22 March 2017 , during a terrorist attack on Parliament , Ellwood gave mouth-to-mouth resuscitation and CPR to police officer Keith Palmer , who later died of his injuries . Ellwood was called a " hero " by those at Westminster and the press , as photos surfaced of him with blood on his face while he crouched over the body of the dying police officer . Consequently , Ellwood received a lot of praise on social media for his actions , as well as being promised an appointment to the Privy Council for his response in the attack . Elwood 's appointment to the Privy Council was formally approved on 12 April 2017
