I AM writing to express my extreme gratitude to the kind Samaritan who came to my aid on Saturday, May 14 when I had a fall in Knyveton Road, Bournemouth.

This very kind lady called for an ambulance and waited with me until the paramedics arrived.

They also were very kind and helpful and my thanks go to them, too.

Apart from a few bruises, aches and pains, I am recovering well, so, once again, thank you.
