Shirley Bassey road naming 'on par' with dame title

Dame Shirley Bassey said that having a road named after her outside the Children's Hospital of Wales was an honour on a par with being made a dame.

The main walkway outside the hospital was renamed Dame Shirley Bassey Way in recognition of her support for the charity set up to fund it.

The singer, who is a patron of the Noah's Ark Appeal, was given a tour of the Cardiff facility on Saturday.

Rebecca John spoke to Dame Shirley as well as Jennifer Jones, the mother of four-year-old Erin, who is cared for at the hospital.
