We find Gabo in school and we find Harry Hill! Hello sir!
00:05
So we're here at St Agnes Orthopaedic Hospital and you're opening the garden, you've cut the ribbon.
00:11
Yeah, I've been lucky enough to cut a ribbon to a garden here in the Orthopaedic Hospital.
00:15
All the local community have got behind it and raised the money to open it.
00:19
And look at it, it's fantastic! It is gorgeous!
00:22
What do you think of the garden, sir? I love it!
00:24
You like it? It's amazing! Yeah, it's absolutely beautiful!
00:27
And do you have a favourite plant in the garden? It's really good! Yes, that's amazing!
00:31
That looks nice!
00:33
And do you think you'll be coming here again?
00:36
I hope so. Yes. Okay, well it's...
00:40
We have a position coming up for a junior reporter at the Shropshire Star, Harry.
00:43
Would you like to get your application in?
00:45
Yeah, I'm hoping to get a job at the Shropshire Star.
00:47
This is Harry Hill for the Shropshire... Shropshire...
00:51
This is Harry Hill for the Shropshire Star. Back to the studio.
00:56
Hi, I'm Victoria Sugden. I'm the Charity Director here at the Robert Jones and Agnes Sun Forthopaedic Hospital.
01:02
And we're here today to celebrate the opening of our fantastic Alice Ward garden.
01:06
Something that we've been fundraising for for quite a while.
01:09
We've raised £240,000 for the help of the community, businesses and organisations.
01:15
And we are so delighted to have the Lord Lieutenant Anna Turner here today.
01:19
And also Harry Hill, who's on his way to perform at the Chester Story House tonight.
01:24
So we're super grateful that he's taken the time to come and open our garden.
01:28
How do you manage to get a Harry Hill here? That's some scoop. How do you manage that?
01:32
Is he a friend that works at a hospital or something?
01:35
We phoned him up and asked him.
01:36
Wow, simple as that.
01:37
Yeah, simple as that. And he was kind enough to do it.
01:40
Great. I wonder if he's free next weekend when I'm having a garden party.
01:43
He's great, isn't he? He's been mingling with the kids. They've been loving it, haven't they?
01:47
Oh, it's been fantastic. We're so grateful. And now even the sun is shining.
01:51
Perfect. Couldn't be better.
02:17
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh. Try everything. Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh. Try everything. Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
02:33
Put the rock while you come. You filled your heart with love. Baby, you've done enough. Take a deep breath.
02:41
Don't reach yourself up. No need to run so fast. Sometimes it comes last, but we did our best.
02:50
I won't give up. No, I won't give in. Till I reach the end and then I'll start again.
02:58
No, I won't leave. I want to try everything. I want to try even though I could fail.
03:11
I'll keep on making those new mistakes.
03:30
So we've got Zach and we've got mum. Yeah. What's your name? Emma.
03:34
And Zach was the, you were just telling me he was the poster boy for the campaign for the garden.
03:39
He was. A few years ago. Yeah. So he was eight at the time and he was an impatient on the ward.
03:44
Yeah, yeah. So you ended up having your picture done, didn't you, to help with the campaign.
03:47
So it's really, it's because of that lovely face that we got the money in it. That's how we've done it, really.
03:52
You can claim it as yours. So what do you think, what do you think of the garden?
03:58
It's really nice. It's cool, innit? Yeah, yeah. So have they looked after Zach here before at the hospital?
04:04
They have, yes. Yeah, yeah. And how's Zach doing now then? Is he alright?
04:08
Good, yeah. They looked after him well. And you met Harry, what did you say to Harry?
04:13
He was talking about football, innit? Yeah. Who does he support? Did you ask him?
04:20
Er, no. What did he say? What badges are you going to cover yours with?
04:24
Hold on then Harry, are you going to chuck a bit of soil on? Yay!
04:29
Very good. Lovely.
04:34
There's Harry Hill, modelling the latest Spear and Jackson shovel.
04:39
There's Harry Hill. There's Harry Hill.
