ON Saturday, November 12, while on a coach trip to Emmerdale studios and having a short break in York, I fell in York city centre.

Some kind gentlemen helped me up and stayed with me.

One phoned for a taxi, who also was very kind and took me to the coach park.

An ambulance was sent for and they took me to York Hospital, where the staff were brilliant.

I have broken my shoulder and damaged muscles and I now face a long recovery time.

My husband and a friend drove up and brought me home.

I want to say a big thank you to all the people of York who helped me.
