A VERY big thank you to all the wonderful people who helped me on Saturday, June 25, when I passed out in Winton outside Lidl, with no warning.

I was so lucky I fell onto people standing waiting for the carnival band.

I do apologise if I hurt you but I am so grateful for all you did as I lay on the very wet pavement.

The paramedics going to A&E at Royal Bournemouth Hospital and returning home on Sunday 26 were amazing and kind, as were all at the wonderful staff in A&E.

I thank you all from the bottom of my heart.

MARY H ALSTON
