A patient at a Marie Curie Hospice in Bradford celebrated his 44th wedding anniversary in style – thanks to kind-hearted staff. James Bannon, who suffers from MS, celebrated his anniversary with his wife Pauline after staff served up a specially-prepared tea in its canteen.

Lucy Burnett, community fundraiser for Marie Curie Cancer Care, said: “The Bradford hospice is so much more than a medical facility, it really is a home from home for patients and their families and the staff will go above and beyond for special occasions. “We rely on our local community to help us do this so please consider supporting us with a donation or hold a fundraising event with your friends and family.” Contact the hospice on (01274) 337017 or e-mail lucy.burnett@mariecurie.org.uk.”
