Just wondering if anyone might have seen my 87 year old mother today. She has alzheimers and went missing from her care home in Barry Road at about 3am this morning. She is 5' tall with white hair, wearing a light blue blouse, navy cardigan and black trousers. Police and bus drivers looking for her but no luck so far.


Many thanks

Marianne


Thanks so much for your kind messages - much appreciated. I am happy to say that she has just been found in Kilburn (!) and is confused but ok and on her way home. The police have been absolutely wonderful.

Thank you for your kind messages - she doesn't remember where she used to live (Westminster Bridge Road) but the police and members of the family have been driving around the area all day. She has no money and no coat and must be totally confused - I just don't understand why somebody hasn't checked to see if she is ok. Anyway, must remain hopeful, the police have been marvellous.


Once again, thanks to you and GSJ57 for your good wishes.

You really are lovely people on this thread - so caring! We now know that she got a 12 to Oxford Circus - a bus driver recalled seeing her at 5am - you would think he could have asked her if she was ok as she had no coat and was wearing slippers .... after that, she must have got on a bus at random as she has no connections with Kilburn. She has an old Freedom Pass which expired in 2006 but no photo to go with it so I can only presume that the drivers were not too fussy. We don't know what she did all day but she ended up in a Turkish cafe where they very kindly fed and watered her and called the police. I intend to thank those lovely people too!


Otta, all the doors are alarmed except one fire escape door (she would have had to walk through a long corridor and the kitchen in pitch darkness to get to it) and as she is normally very well looked after I can't be too angry with them - these things happen occasionally - I'm just grateful there was a happy ending to this very long day ...


Once again, many thanks for all your support (I got quite a few PMs too).


Best wishes

Oh thank goodness .

And thank goodness for the kind sensible Turkish cafe people .


The care home must be beside themselves - if it's the one I think it is ,they are really excellent and caring .

I bet arrangements for that fire exit to be alarmed will be in hand sharpish .

    • In just two days, we’ll take to the streets to show Donald Trump that he and his politics are not welcome here. On Saturday the global far-right mobilised their biggest protest for decades. We want to show that supporters of Trump and fascism are not the majority – far from it. Here are all the details you need for the day. The march assembles at Portland Place, near the BBC, at 2pm (see assembly blocs below). After speeches here, the march will move off at 3pm. It will then march down Regent St, through Piccadilly Circus, on Whitehall (past Downing St) to our rally at Parliament Square. The rally at Parliament Square will begin around 5pm and finish at 7pm. If you can’t make it to the march, feel free to join the rally after work! (Nearest tube: Westminster). The short, accessible version of the route assembles at the top of Whitehall (SW1A 2DY) at 4.30pm to march to Parliament Square for 5pm. You may also prefer to just join the rally directly at Parliament Square.  Join a bloc – and make friends! Our movement is diverse, and various elements are forming ‘blocs’ on the march to emphasise their visual presence collectively. You can join these blocs or form up behind them:   A) Palestine, near BBC, W1A 1AA B) Climate, W1B 1NS C) Amnesty, around junction with New Cavendish St, W1B 1LU D) Migrants' rights, W1B 1LS E) Jewish bloc, W1B 1QQ F) Ukraine, around junction with Weymouth St, W1B 1JL G) Europe, W1B 1NR More stewards still needed Stewards are a crucial part of keeping the protest safe for everyone to participate. They are a visible point of contact for attendees who may need directions or other assistance. Experience of stewarding is useful but it's also fine if you haven't done it before. You will be issued with a hi-vis jacket and briefed in advance and on the day.  Sign up to be a steward Staying comfortable on the day The demonstration lasts for several hours, so we suggest you should:     Bring a bottle of water and snacks (and eat beforehand)     Charge your phone fully the night before, and bring a portable charger if you can     Go to the loo beforehand (really!)     Buddy up with someone, or stick together as a group – it can be hard to find people easily if people wander off     Coming alone? Protests can be a great place to meet like-minded people. If you feel unsure, you can always talk to a steward     Consider the weather: bring a waterproof jacket or wear suncream where necessary     Wear comfortable clothes and footwear, and use our accessible route if you need to (see above) Bring your friends and family on Wednesday. Let’s make this massive! In solidarity, Stop Trump Coalition
