00:00We find Gabo in school and we find Harry Hill! Hello sir!
00:05So we're here at St Agnes Orthopaedic Hospital and you're opening the garden, you've cut the ribbon.
00:11Yeah, I've been lucky enough to cut a ribbon to a garden here in the Orthopaedic Hospital.
00:15All the local community have got behind it and raised the money to open it.
00:19And look at it, it's fantastic! It is gorgeous!
00:22What do you think of the garden, sir? I love it!
00:24You like it? It's amazing! Yeah, it's absolutely beautiful!
00:27And do you have a favourite plant in the garden? It's really good! Yes, that's amazing!
00:31That looks nice!
00:33And do you think you'll be coming here again?
00:36I hope so. Yes. Okay, well it's...
00:40We have a position coming up for a junior reporter at the Shropshire Star, Harry.
00:43Would you like to get your application in?
00:45Yeah, I'm hoping to get a job at the Shropshire Star.
00:47This is Harry Hill for the Shropshire... Shropshire...
00:51This is Harry Hill for the Shropshire Star. Back to the studio.
00:56Hi, I'm Victoria Sugden. I'm the Charity Director here at the Robert Jones and Agnes Sun Forthopaedic Hospital.
01:02And we're here today to celebrate the opening of our fantastic Alice Ward garden.
01:06Something that we've been fundraising for for quite a while.
01:09We've raised £240,000 for the help of the community, businesses and organisations.
01:15And we are so delighted to have the Lord Lieutenant Anna Turner here today.
01:19And also Harry Hill, who's on his way to perform at the Chester Story House tonight.
01:24So we're super grateful that he's taken the time to come and open our garden.
01:28How do you manage to get a Harry Hill here? That's some scoop. How do you manage that?
01:32Is he a friend that works at a hospital or something?
01:35We phoned him up and asked him.
01:36Wow, simple as that.
01:37Yeah, simple as that. And he was kind enough to do it.
01:40Great. I wonder if he's free next weekend when I'm having a garden party.
01:43He's great, isn't he? He's been mingling with the kids. They've been loving it, haven't they?
01:47Oh, it's been fantastic. We're so grateful. And now even the sun is shining.
01:51Perfect. Couldn't be better.
02:17Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh. Try everything. Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh. Try everything. Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
02:33Put the rock while you come. You filled your heart with love. Baby, you've done enough. Take a deep breath.
02:41Don't reach yourself up. No need to run so fast. Sometimes it comes last, but we did our best.
02:50I won't give up. No, I won't give in. Till I reach the end and then I'll start again.
02:58No, I won't leave. I want to try everything. I want to try even though I could fail.
03:11I'll keep on making those new mistakes.
03:30So we've got Zach and we've got mum. Yeah. What's your name? Emma.
03:34And Zach was the, you were just telling me he was the poster boy for the campaign for the garden.
03:39He was. A few years ago. Yeah. So he was eight at the time and he was an impatient on the ward.
03:44Yeah, yeah. So you ended up having your picture done, didn't you, to help with the campaign.
03:47So it's really, it's because of that lovely face that we got the money in it. That's how we've done it, really.
03:52You can claim it as yours. So what do you think, what do you think of the garden?
03:58It's really nice. It's cool, innit? Yeah, yeah. So have they looked after Zach here before at the hospital?
04:04They have, yes. Yeah, yeah. And how's Zach doing now then? Is he alright?
04:08Good, yeah. They looked after him well. And you met Harry, what did you say to Harry?
04:13He was talking about football, innit? Yeah. Who does he support? Did you ask him?
04:20Er, no. What did he say? What badges are you going to cover yours with?
04:24Hold on then Harry, are you going to chuck a bit of soil on? Yay!
04:29Very good. Lovely.
04:34There's Harry Hill, modelling the latest Spear and Jackson shovel.
04:39There's Harry Hill. There's Harry Hill.
