The Queen’s granddaughter Zara Phillips, who is pregnant, was among those who visited Stroud Maternity Unit to celebrate the anniversary – she is not in this film – but this film does capture some of the voices of those at the Unit. The day was a celebration of 60 years and a chance to see the refurbishments.

I sadly only had around 40 minutes there due to other meetings but hopefully have captured some of the day at this local community resource – a resource that so many of our community have fought on occasions to retain here in Stroud – great to see this new investment.
