A grandmother from Merseyside is seeking help to find the "angel" man who came to support her after she suffered a fall in Liverpool city centre.
Joan Prescott, 87, had just left Clatterbridge Cancer Centre in the Wirral, where she is currently undergoing treatment for pancreatic cancer, before she fell over outside TJ Hughes on London Road in the city centre.
Joan told the Liverpool Echo about how a bystander came to her aide after she fell, which saw her handbag "flying across the pavement".
Before she tried to get herself up, the man put his hand on hers and, according to Joan, said: "Stay where you are, I'm here to look after you.
"I'm not going anywhere. It doesn't matter how long it takes, I will stay with you. You tell me when it's time for you to get up."
She recalled: "I said 'thank you' and then after a few minutes I said 'I'm ready now'. He lifted me up, and I looked at him and said 'by jove it was worth that fall to meet a lovely man like you.'"
Joan did not get any details of the man who came to her help and admitted she's not stopped thinking about the actions of the kind person. The 87-year-old, who is from Merseyside village Melling, is determined to find him in a bid to say thank you for his kindness.
She said: "I'm calling him an angel. I've told my vicar and I've told my priest, and they said someone was watching over you.
"I just think the way those words he said them so gently - 'I'm here to look after you. I'm not going anywhere'. It was beautiful. There's beautiful people out there - lovely people."
