"A group of youngsters came to help and phoned 999.
"When a paramedic arrived he wanted me to sit on a chair after he had checked me over, but my friends in the Melton Mowbray Amateur Radio Club couldn’t lift me.
"Out of the blue a stranger turned up and with his extra strength I was up and sitting on a chair awaiting an ambulance.”
