I WOULD like to say a massive 'thank you' to all those who helped when my father was taken ill in the Kettle Sings cafe in Colwall at lunchtime on Thursday, July 5.

To the staff who were fantastically calm and helpful in a difficult situation; to the diners who helped make my father comfortable and in particular to the nurse who sat with my mother whilst we waited for the ambulance and paramedic, who were also great.

My father has made a fair recovery and is now safely back home in Derby.

Thank you so much.

LORRAINE HURST
