I WOULD like to thank all the kind people who came to my aid when I was taken ill outside of Poundland in Dorchester on Tuesday, August 18.

Although I remember very little at the time, my husband told me how many people offered tissues and water and one very kind lady stayed with me the whole time, supporting my head and trying to reassure me.

Also thank you to the paramedics who stayed until the ambulance arrived.

Thank you all very much for your kindness.
