A HUGE thank you to all those who stopped and offered help to me and my 87 year old mum on Saturday, 18 March.

She tripped over a speed bump and fell onto her face in the Churchill retail park car park.

Thank you to each and every one who offered practical support and comfort while we waited for an ambulance, and apologies to those whose cars were blocked in and had to wait.

Amazingly mum had no broken bones and is making a good recovery.

It’s good to know how caring and supportive the people of Andover are, thank you.

Alison Pressey, Junction Road, Andover
