SIR - May I offer my thanks to the many people who came to my aid when I had a fall in the High Street last week?

The passers-by who stopped to offer help, the two ladies from Sidmouth Hearing & Mobility and, in particular, the kind gentleman who insisted on running me home in his car and leaving me in the good hands of my wonderful neighbours.I never cease to be amazed by the caring people of Sidmouth.

Name and address supplied.
