National Thank You Day: We asked on our Facebook page if you could thank just one person, who would it be and why?

Who would you say thank you to if you had to pick just one person?

That’s the question we asked on the Lancashire Post Facebook page ahead of National Thank You Day yesterday – Sunday, July 2.

We all have people in our lives; family and friends, colleagues, teachers, healthcare workers and the like, who often deserve our thanks – but if you had to pick one person, could you?

It’s a difficult decision and one we wanted to know the answer to.

These are some of the special people you wanted to say thank you to ...

Leah Carman

My stem cell donor in Germany for saving my life last year and all the doctors and nurses for helping me survive.

Stuart White

My wife, my absolute best friend and soul mate, for everything she did when my father was in the last year of his life and when he passed away, she was a total rock and I don’t how I would have got through it without her, so Thank You.
