Sir, On Monday, November 17, my mother-in-law was going to Bournemouth on a coach trip and lost her handbag between Wessex Road and the Marlborough Club.

My sincere thanks to the very kind lady who found the bag and managed to return it and all its contents (including spending money) before the coach left town.

There are still some lovely people around. Thank you.
