Major Tim Peake gives out of this world message of thanks to staff at PRI
ByThe Courier Reporter
Major Tim Peake and his galactic message of thanks.
Staff at Perth Royal Infirmary are over the moon after receiving a message of thanks from British astronaut Major Tim Peake.
After his mother-in-law, Madeleine King, spent time as a patient in ward 8 at the hospital, the British astronaut sent staff his thanks all the way from the International Space Station.
Major Peake posed for a photograph of himself holding up a sign which reads “Thank you NHS PRI for all you do!!”
The staff on ward 8 were thrilled to receive the picture and plan to have it framed and hung on the ward.
Senior charge nurse Samantha Edmonds said, “It was a lovely thing for Major Peake to do and it has given all the staff on the ward a real lift.”
Associate nurse director Jim Foulis added: “The brightest stars are those who shine for others and I am very proud of the staff here in PRI that the high quality of care they provide for their patients has been recognised in the highest of places.”
Major Peake has been at the space station since mid-December.
His wife Rebecca, grew up in Comrie and the couple visit often.
