My wife and I would like to express our deep gratitude to the ambulance, fire and police officers – and the crew of the air ambulance – who attended when our son’s car hit black ice in Savernake Forest, and skidded into a tree.

Mercifully, by the grace of God, none of the occupants of the car were seriously hurt, and all were able to go home after hospital examination. Here we must also thank the staff in A&E at the Great Western Hospital in Swindon.

It was so comforting to have such professional people around, acting in such a kind but dedicated fashion. We cannot thank them enough.
