Smile in the sky drawn for Worcester hospice patient

Aerobatic pilot Rich Goodwin created the smile

An aerobatic pilot has put on a special show for a patient with a lifelong passion for aircraft who is being cared for at a hospice.

Pilot Rich Goodwin created the sky high smile above the St Richard's Hospice in Worcester.

Former transportation engineer Ray Stanton, 66, enjoyed the show with his wife, Angela, and two children.

"To see the smile in the sky and then look at Ray's smile was just fantastic," said Mrs Stanton.

"I haven't seen him smile for a while.

"The care here is above and beyond anything," she added.

"We would like to say a huge, heartfelt thank you to Rich for creating such precious memories for Ray, his family, and everyone who witnessed the smile in the sky."
