A Newcastle nurse was one of the first people to attend a royal garden party during King Charles' reign.
Audrey Tapang - who won the Nursing Times Overseas Nurse of the Year award last year - was nominated to attend the party this week as part of the celebrations marking the new king's coronation. Audrey, who came to Newcastle from the Philippines now plays a vital role in the Newcastle Hospitals NHS Trust's work recruiting new nurses from overseas as a clinical educator.
On Wednesday, ahead of the coronation, she went to London in her finery with partner Steven Mallon. She said she had loved the experience.
