It was wheeled from "Bishop's Castle Hospital, through Clun, Clunton, Purslow, Kempton, Cleobury North and back to Bishop's Castle," Mr Dicken said.Patricia Davis, chief executive of Shropshire Community NHS Trust, said the board recognised the "enormous strength of feeling" among the local community.
