I thank all the people who helped my father when he took ill on the First bus from Clifton Moor on Bank Holiday Monday.

The kindness shown by a womancalled Maureen and the driver while awaiting the emergency services was very comforting, especially to my mother.

My parents express their gratitude to all concerned and the First representative who took the time to visit them that evening to see how my father was.
