NOT all heroes wear capes, some sport a smock with a super power to deliver vital medications no matter what.
British pharmacist, Raj Modi, is one such hero, putting his patients before himself to ensure people evacuated from the town of Whaley Bridge, southeast of Manchester, maintained access to medicines.
The unassuming Peak-District town has been evacuated after heavy rains on Thu caused part of a dam wall to collapse, threatening to unleash a flood that could have washed through Whaley Bridge.
As part of the evacuation, Modi's Well Pharmacy was closed, however, he contacted police expressing concerns that patients may have to go without their medications, and was allowed to return to the pharmacy.
With access to his store, Modi was able to identify at risk patients and arrange safe delivery of medicines, The Buxton Advertiser reported.
"During this difficult time, I have tried my best to help and support everyone that I can," he said.
"I wanted to bring some calm to the situation by making sure people were not worried about their medication.
"I kept checking the weather as I knew I had to get medication to my customers before the heavy rainfall, which is why I delivered it throughout the weekend."
Modi's colleagues provided support from other stores.
