A grateful patient has donated a colourful gift to Bradford Royal Infirmary (BRI).
Graeme Willson, of Ilkley, began treatment and surgery at BRI, in January this year after being diagnosed with cancer of the oesophagus in December 2017.
A stained-glass screen has been presented by Mr Willson to Consultant Surgeon, James Halstead and his team, who performed an operation that saved his life.
He said: “It was in January that I first met James, who was an absolute inspiration. James and his team performed the operation which has resulted in my still being here.
“When I first met him, I had just found out about my diagnosis and was obviously feeling quite depressed. I honestly think he has a great gift for inspiring confidence and hope in a patient.
“I think he said something like ‘we can get you through this working as a team together’, which was so inspiring and really galvanised my spirit.”
