A Baildon woman was the final radiotherapy patient to be treated at Cookridge Hospital in Leeds as it closed its doors.
To mark the occasion 80-year-old Freda Burgess was presented with a bouquet of flowers by Sheila Snowden, a senior therapy radiographer.
Sheila is the longest serving radiographer in Leeds Teach-ing Hospitals having worked at Cookridge Hospital for more than 30 years.
Services previously provided at Cookridge have transferred to a new £220 million Bexley Wing at St James's Hospital in Leeds, containing the St James's Institute of Oncology.
Angie Craig, head of radiotherapy at the Leeds Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust, said: "This really is the end of an era. While of course we all feel nostalgic about Cookridge Hospital and have many happy memories, everyone is really excited at moving to a state-of-the-art new building which offers an outstanding environment for patients and staff which is second to none."
