An 86-year-old woman had to wait almost three hours for an ambulance after falling and breaking her leg on the pavement outside her home in Norfolk.
Daphne Shaw slipped on the pavement as she was getting into a car outside her home in Thorpe St Andrew, Norwich.
A friend phoned 999 and was told an ambulance would be on its way, but it took nearly three hours to arrive.
The East of England Ambulance Service (EEAS) said its crews had been delayed at hospitals in the area.

Poor woman, I know how it feels to break your thigh bone but can't imagine what it must have been like for her to wait so long
