Gordon Ramsay surprises Agnes Nisbett, 87, at Pride of Britain ceremony

In London, 87-year-old Agnes Nisbett was honored as this year's Pride of Britain TSB Community Hero for her significant contributions to supporting grieving mothers who have experienced stillbirth. This recognition came during a surprise event at The River Restaurant at the Savoy Hotel, where celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay and his wife Tana presented her with the award. Agnes, a former midwife, had faced the tragedy of stillbirth herself in 1973, which motivated her to create a sanctuary for other bereaved families. She established a dedicated room for grieving parents, providing them with clothing for their babies and encouraging them to take photographs and palm prints as keepsakes. The event not only celebrated Agnes's work but also included a generous donation of £25,000 from TSB to install memory boxes in her name at Leicester Royal Infirmary and across the UK. This initiative aims to further support families dealing with similar losses. Agnes expressed her disbelief and gratitude at being recognized for her decades of service, stating that she felt like she was still dreaming. The emotional connection between Agnes and the Ramsays was palpable, especially as Tana shared her own experience with stillbirth, highlighting the importance of their meeting and the impact of Agnes's work on the community.
