I WISH to express my thanks to the good Samaritans of Stourport, following an incident by the river on Wednesday, May 29.

While I was searching for somewhere to have a cup of tea, my wife had a fall, hitting her face on the footpath.

A man nearby phoned for the ambulance, another kind woman helped with tissues for my wife's facial injuries, while another brought a chair. Someone else helped my wife up to the chair.

The ambulance soon arrived, and took my wife to Kidderminster Hospital, where she received immediate and loving treatment.

My wife is now improving following attention at Wolverhampton Eye Infirmary, and joins me in sincerely thanking all who stopped to help.
