And they issued their "heartfelt thanks" to the Humphreys family for the gesture.

The card read: "The amazing work you do all your round is inspiring, but the work you continue to do in the current Covid-19 situation in simply incredible.

"The tireless compassion the team gives day in and day out is moving and so we wanted to say thank you. A really big, sincere thank you from our family, to you, your family and all at St Michael's."

It was signed "love and gratitude, the Humphrey's".
