Star of the show: Beryl shares the limelight with other NHS icons (Image: NHS)
A PHOTOGRAPHIC exhibition celebrating the NHS’s 75th birthday features Beryl Carr (pictured), the NHS’s oldest volunteer who works at the Friends of Ealing Hospital Café.
The picture was taken by NHS worker Steve Watkins, who said: “Beryl is a bit of a legend at the hospital and still comes in every Wednesday to keep an eye on us all.”
Beryl, 101, added: “I really enjoy the social side of it. I can’t think of anything worse than being stuck in front of the TV.”
Our NHS At 75 is at the House of Fuji in Long Acre, Covent Garden, featuring 75 images taken by staff across the UK.
Beryl features in the Our Partners category alongside Louis, a Pets as Therapy dog, and Rodney, an NHS chaplain.
