The Princess Royal has opened a garden to commemorate loved ones lost to coronavirus, during one of three visits to hospitals in Gloucestershire.
The Queen and late Duke of Edinburgh’s only daughter spoke to NHS staff about their work during the pandemic, at Gloucestershire Royal Hospital (GRH), Wotton Lawn Hospital, and Cheltenham General Hospital (CGH) on Wednesday.
At GRH, the princess opened the tribute garden designed by Danny Clarke, known as The Black Gardener, which also marks the contribution of NHS staff and carers.
Anne then saw hundreds of commemorative wire dandelions that have been placed in an open green space at CGH, each bearing a tribute to a loved one who lost their life to Covid-19, and laid a dandelion of her own.
