A Winchester GP surgery and bus driver have been thanked on social media after they reportedly saved a person's life when they fell ill.
On Tuesday, June 6, around midday, an air ambulance was spotted hovering above the city centre and it is now believed that it was attending a medical incident at the bus station.
People, including the fiancee of the person who took ill, have turned to social media to express their gratitude to those who were there to look after the person.
According to posts on Facebook page, 'We Are Winchester', staff from St Clements Surgery were at the bus station looking after the person until paramedics arrived at the scene.

The post, which is anonymous, reads: "I would like to praise the GP's and Nurses from St Clements Surgery that attended a serious accident at Winchester bus station on Tuesday 6th June. They also contacted 999.
"I believe a member of the public went there to seek medical help for the person.
"At one point there were a minimum of 6 in attendance from the surgery and various 999 personnel.
"St Clements medical staff were with the patient for nearly 2 hours.Well done to all involved.
"It was also mentioned that the person life was saved by a quick response from the surgery. Who knows how long they would have been there without medical help if they had to wait for paramedics first."
