Karamat Ullah Mirza, 84, of Clacton, tragically died last May at Colchester Hospital after contracting Covid-19. The much-loved doctor, who had lived and worked in the area since 1974, helped hundreds of patients at the Old Road Medical Practice. To mark what would have been his 85th birthday, on May 7, his former patients, along with his friends and family, were last month asked to send messages to the surgery. Following an overwhelming response, staff members used the notes to create a colourful tribute display at the front of the practice and in the window. The touching messages, printed and written on heart-shaped pieces of paper, serve as a reminder of the lasting impact Dr Mirza had on so many people in the town.
