PEEP Show actress Olivia Colman praised the NHS as she switched on the Christmas lights at University College London Hospital.
Ms Colman, who has also had roles in The Iron Lady and Tyrannosaur, said: “It’s very nice to be asked to do something for the NHS. We only realise how lucky we are to have the NHS when we travel abroad and people cannot believe we get free healthcare – it’s a special and beautiful thing. My mum was a nurse in the NHS for 40 years so I have grown up being very aware of that.”
Hundreds of visitors browsed more than 45 display stands to the sound of carol singing under the 24-foot tree. There were also behind-the-scenes tours of some clinical areas, mince pies, prize raffles.
