A lovely story, I hope it is true. The good thing about young people who are thoughtful and caring is that they will probably bring caring generous children into the world in the next few years, so carrying on the good genes that are around. Better than the people who only care about themselves, they just seem to produce hoards of youngsters who continue the scrounging way of life.

Special thoughts to the families and friends of the lady killed and those others injured and shocked.

I have just read Ann's letter in the Echo.
It was lovely to hear of such a good deed being done, after the tragic events here in Cardiff on Friday afternoon.
Thank you Paula for putting this thread up

Well done both. It was doing the rounds on FB.

I assume the editors have verified it or else they wouldn't publish.

Meybe the students concerned did,nt want any publicity. not everyone expects praise for things they do spotaniously, or reward.**M**.

Well I am sure the paper could have added that the people involved did NOT want to be named . , like I said that is if they even bothered to get it verified , quite frankly any of that stuff that does the rounds on Facebook is best taken with a pinch of salt .

to be honest Sylvia I donlt think they would have printed it had it not been true - if it isn't true I'm sure people from the University Hospital will let it be known
