MAY I thank the two security officers and the gentleman who came to my aid when I fell outside the Post Office in Blackburn on February 9.

They helped me to my feet, found a chair, or phoned for an ambulance, which arrived so quickly to take me to Casualty, where I had superb treatment and X-rays.

I am 78, but, fortunately, did not break any bones. Thanks to all three from the bottom of my heart.

CHRISTINE PARKER, Whinney Lane, Lammack, Blackburn.
