THROUGH your paper I would like to say a big thank-you to the family who came to help me on the Saturday May bank holiday afternoon.

I was walking my dog along with my grandson in the field alongside Defford Road, Pershore.

I slipped and couldn't get back on my feet.

I would like to thank them for all their help, kindness and reassurance while I was on the ground and waiting for my family and the ambulance to arrive.

As it turned out I had broken my leg and ankle, and had to have it pinned.

I would also like to say thank you for the care I received from the paramedics, A&E staff and the staff at Worcestershire Royal Hospital.
