Prince of Wales's Visit to a Life-Boat Worker
AFTER the Annual Meeting, which was held in the Central Hall, Westminster, the Prince of Wales paid a private visit to the Westminster Hospital to see Miss Hannah Denham, who for many years had been a patient in the incurable ward, and who was shortly to be moved to a hospital in Eastbourne. Though crippled and bedridden Miss Denham is able to knit and for many years has worked and collected for the Life-boat Service. L~i 1926 Miss Denham was awarded the Gold Badge of the Institution, which is given only to those honorary workers who have done long and conspicuous service for the Institution.
The Prince thanked Miss Denham for all that she had done for the Lifeboat cause, and our readers can imagine the joy which our President's kindness gave to a humble but devoted worker, who will look back on March 27th as the red letter day of her life..
