THROUGH your paper, I would like to thank all the people who came to my assistance after a bad fall on Thursday, November 21, at 3.15pm by the side of H&M in Birkenhead.

In particular, the first aider who did tell me his name but, due to shock, I've forgotten it.

He stayed with me until the ambulance arrived.

Also, the nurse who offered to help and Carol from Shop Mobility, plus the many shoppers for their concern.

Once again, many thanks to you all. I must have a minor operation for a broken nose but, apart from this, I am on the mend.

Irene Cooke, Woodchurch
