On today's #DayOfReflection we remember those who lost their life, those who are grieving and those whose lives have been changed by #COVID19.
We laid floral tributes at our hospitals also in thanks to all our staff for their tireless and heartfelt care for our patients.
ALT Trust chaplain Mia Hilborn and two staff members stand by the Mary Seacole statue at St Thomas' Hospital to lay floral tributes. One staff member is wearing a grey tunic and has their head bowed, with hand behind their back. The other staff member has his hands clasped in front.
ALT Staff members at Guy's Hospital lay yellow floral tributes - a wreath and single daffodiles. Five of them are standing in front of the tributes.
