IN response to the letter from Mr and Mrs W Cummins, "We wish hero well" July 9.

I would like to put a few comments right.There were people that helped our Bolton Hero, a man and a woman came to his aid. They put him in the recovery position. A trader from a soft furnishing shop supplied a pillow for his head.The hero was able to give me his name as I stood next to him whilst I rang an ambulance. The ambulance service do an absolute fantastic job but they couldn't say when it would arrive.

I, as a proud member of the Bolton public hope this gentleman soon recovers.
