THE Bolton News reported on an incident in which my husband was rescued after falling at Moses Gate Country Park last Saturday.

He unfortunately broke his hip but after an operation is now thankfully on the mend.

We were extremely grateful for the kindness shown by people in the park that day, with a number of people including children giving up their coats to keep my husband warm while we waited for help to arrive.

We’d also like to thank the Bolton Mountain Rescue team for the very professional way they dealt with the incident, as well as the ambulance crew and staff at Bolton Royal Hospital.
