A WREATH laying ceremony has taken place at Westminster Abbey as a tribute to all those who have been lost and all those affected by healthcare infections.

The event took place at the Innocent Victims Memorial last Thursday and was attended by Professor Hugh Pennington, president of the MRSA Action UK and Claire Rayner who is now wheelchair-bound.

Mavis Law, from Winsford, who lost her son Colin to the disease, said it was a moving ceremony.

She said: "We had a lone Irish piper who played the bagpipes.

"The Conservative Party kindly sent a delegate as Stephen O'Brien was unable to attend this time and also the Lib-Dems kindly sent a delegate too."
