Boxing legend Frank Bruno took time out of his busy schedule at Bradford Literature Festival to visit the Children and Young People’s Unit at Bradford Royal Infirmary (BRI).
Frank went to meet youngsters at the brand new unit, where he handed out books to patients and chatted to the children and medical staff.
Ruth Tolley, Matron for Children’s Inpatient Services, said: “It is just wonderful to see our patients’ faces light up when stars like Frank enter our wards.
“The kids absolutely loved him and he was amazing with them, helping them to forget they were sick and in hospital.
“Frank and Bradford Literature Festival also left us lots of books which will help keep the children distracted during their time with us and which we are very grateful for.”
