It was the unveiling and dedication yesterday of ‘The Cherry Tree’ at Guy’s Hospital by Alan Titchmarsh and Rowan Williams. I was so glad to be able to honour and pay tribute to all donors of organs for transplantation -  especially the anonymous donor, the friend I never knew,  whose kidney has been my life-saver over the last 25 years. It was good to see again several of the medical professionals whose skill and expertise I have relied upon over the years. My thanks to everyone at the hospital for arranging the event. The cherry tree is made from cut stainless steel. Some has been painted, some has been bent to produce the final effect. The spring blossoming cherry represents new life and I understand a flowering cherry was planted in remembrance of my donor. The work also suggests the cross section of a kidney and the colour change across the work reflects the way a kidney changes colour as it is attached to its new recipient.
