A group of paramedics broke their strike to rush to help a motorcyclist who had flipped off his bike in front of them.
NHS workers across Britain have not gone to work today to protest their working conditions and poor pay.
In Weymouth, Dorset, a group of paramedics and ambulance crews were camped outside their station receiving the support of people driving past.
Just before noon a motorcyclist was showing his appreciation for them honking his horn when he lost control and flew off the bike.

Six paramedics then ran straight over to him to make sure he was alright.
Laurence Herdman was at the scene and couldn’t believe how quickly the healthcare workers came to the aid of the fallen biker.
He said: ‘I had been with the crews all morning talking to them about why they were doing it and what they hoped would happen.
‘As motorists were driving past lots of them would use their horns or cheer out the window to show their support for the strike.
‘It was approaching midday and some of the ambulance crews were having some food.
‘A motorcyclist came round the corner and as he pressed his horn he lost control of the bike and flipped off.
‘Instantly six paramedics were rushing over to make sure that he was okay, there was no hesitation.
‘Thankfully he was alright and after they had checked him over he drove off.’
