A warm tribute has been paid to a former prisoners of war nurse whose career began during the Second World War.
Betty Brighton, of Brooke House care home, was presented with chocolates and flowers to show their appreciation of her service as part of International Nurse s Day on Wednesday.
Betty, who was born in Holloway, London, started her training at Leicester Royal Infirmary Hospital at the age of 18.
During her time there, she was involved in nursing prisoners of war and also miners, due to it being a mining community.
