Hospice at Home - The Duke of Gloucester

There's always something a little bit special about a Royal guest at a anniversary or event - it rightly marks out and highlights what a charity, organisation or school has been quietly getting on with for decades.  I've had the great privilege of photographing these sort of events on a number of occasions and I love the little buzz in the air you get before the guests arrival as well as the warmth of celebration that emanates across the event during the visit.  

Hospice at Home Carlisle and North Lakeland is a charity I've been involved with for a number of years.  For their 20th anniversary, we made a number of films with interviews from those giving and receiving Hospice at Home care.  There's nothing more powerful than people sharing their lives and stories with you.  

With all that in mind, the 14th of March saw a fantastic opportunity to capture the 25th Anniversary Celebrations at Askham Hall with HRH The Duke of Gloucester.  What a wonderful day as the Duke greeted and congratulated all the different people who come together to make Hospice at Home happen.  You can see a selection of images below as well as our film from the day.   Congratulations on 25 years Hospice at Home!
