Up date on the confused gentleman I and a pupil found in Dukinfield on Thursday.
His daughter traced me through my Face Book and phoned to say thank you.
He wanted to be taken to  Ladbrook Road, about 2 miles away, he's 92 years old and lived in Ladbrook Road as a child.
He lives with his daughter and she was on the phone when he escaped through the unlock back door, sadly his daughter said they have been fighting  with the idea of putting him in a home for some time. However, this latest episode has now convinced them they are not able to give him the care he deserves.
So sad your life has to end this way, I know from experience with friends they are doing the correct thing.
