MADAM - May I, through the Herald, express my thanks to those who came to our help when a friend collapsed on the Esplanade on Monday, September 22, in the evening?

Three young ladies put him into the recovery position and covered him with their coats.

Two police officers came and were both kind and efficient in summoning an ambulance and explaining everything to us.

My friend is now back home in London full of praise for the people of Sidmouth and for Exeter Hospital.
