ON Saturday, August 19, I had the misfortune to trip and fall heavily on both knees.

I fell over an uneven flag on Newport Street, Bolton, and went with such a thud I was dazed.

The pain was excruciating, and still is.

I would like to thank three ladies who came to my help. They helped me to my feet and sat me down and made sure I was comfortable.

I don't know who the ladies were but they were so kind and attentive to me, and I want them to know how much I appreciate their help and kindness.

The road on Newport Street is appalling and my accident will be reported.
