I WANT to say a big thank you to the people who came to my aid when I was blown over in the town centre last Thursday.

I am grateful to the person who phoned the ambulance.

The reassuring driver who took me to A&E at the Royal Bolton Hospital where they attended to my needs in no time.

I was lucky, I had stitches to my lip and bruising.

I came home by ambulance. Thank you to all who attended to me especially the kind and dedicated staff at A&E.
