"All my dreams were shattered," she says, her voice fragile and filled with emotion.
“We want to reassure the public that we are doing everything we can to resolve issues, to get back to providing a vital service for our residents, and we look to GMB and the workforce to do the same."A memorial for people who have lost their lives since World War Two has been unveiled after a huge community effort.
, near Bristol, was made of donated materials with the help of local bricklayers to honour military personnel who lost their lives in the last 80 years.A group of veterans raised funds for the memorial because they felt the National Memorial Arboretum in Staffordshire was too far away.Patrick Jackson, who started the fundraiser, said: "It's been a long time in the making. We've had many problems but we eventually achieved what we aimed for. I'm very proud to be here for this."
It is made of three oak pillars to represent the Navy, the Army and the Air Force."Most of the materials have been provided by local business people and we got a lot of assistance from people in the village," Mr Jackson said.
"We want to make people aware that there are people that have volunteered their services to the country."
A volunteer who has supported families at a children's hospice has said she felt "very privileged" to be invited to attend a garden party at Buckingham Palace."We're witnessing general practice being broken.

The action being taken does not count as formal industrial action and therefore the union can carry on with the work-to-rule indefinitely.Louise Ansari, chief executive of patient watchdog Healthwatch England, said she was worried about the action, given the difficulties patients already face getting access to GPs.
“Without proactive communications to patients, the work-to-rule action could exacerbate access problems or even deter people from seeking help altogether.“Patient safety must be paramount. We strongly urge all GP practices to inform their patients if and when they are taking part in the action and where to go for alternative help.
