Gordon Ramsay wows 'inspirational' Pride of Britain hero with heartfelt gesture
Former midwife Agnes Nisbett was none the wiser when her daughter Alison Nisbett Hart suggested they enjoy a day out in London as a lovely treat.The 87-year-old, who was a midwife when she went through the heartbreak of stillbirth in 1973 and went on to provide women who experienced the same thing a sanctuary for grieving, exuded a caring energy as she made her way with her daughter and sister Carol James, 73, to Gordon Ramsay's The River Restaurant at the Savoy Hotel in London.
Her kind-hearted spirit and light humour touched everyone around her as complimented the waiters and sipped on a glass of wine with her family.
Little did the incredible midwife know, TV chef Gordon Ramsay and his wife Tana were eagerly waiting to surprise her and announce her as this year's Pride of Britain TSB Community Hero for her pioneering work with grieving mothers.
When Agnes returned to work many years ago after losing her son, she was desperate to make a change. She pioneered the Born Whilst Sleeping programme at Leicester Royal Infirmary and set aside a room for women where they could grieve away from other mums and their newborns in the main maternity ward, reports the Mirror.
