Answering a knock at the door, Mr Francis saw his neighbour John Stirling standing there - minus his left arm. Mr Stirling, a keen gardener, had been trimming a tree with his chainsaw when he slipped and sliced through the limb below the elbow.

Staggering to Mr Francis's home, he calmly knocked on his door and said: 'Please help, I've just cut my arm off.'
'When the ambulance came they put him on a stretcher and asked where the arm was.
'The paramedics were working on him so I went up the road and put it in a plastic Tesco shopping bag.
'I put it in another bag with frozen Cornish pasties in to keep it cold.'

'The procedure to reattach his arm went very well and the medical team are pleased with the patient but it is still early days to say if the operation is a complete success.'
