Hannah said the two men "instantly hit it off... like they'd been best friends for years".

Her thank you note has been shared 7,000 times on Twitter and liked 40,000.

One of the men, Bill (pictured with Hannah), said it had been "a bizarre day" as he was interviewed on BBC local radio after he gave a homeless woman money on his way to the station.
