Christmas in Hospital

Nowhere does Father Christmas make such a welcome appearance as in hospital, especially in the children's ward. These pictures record his visit to Ward 6 and the Children's Ward this Christmas.

And Father Christmas doesn't come alone. He has with him special good fairies, and the nurses' choir is on hand to march right through the hospital singing carols.

It is a rich, rare, and heartwarming occasion.
