Sir, – A huge thank you to the staff of the Dolphin Centre and the kind passers by who helped me when I fell in Darlington last Saturday. Your care was much appreciated.

The ambulance team – Alan and Lee – you were amazing. You kept my spirits up wonderfully and delivered me safely to the hospital.

Thank you also to all the staff on ward 33 who looked after me so well and with great professionalism.
