The boss of Liverpool Women's Hospital said last year's terrorist bombing "connected the hospital even more to the community it serves".
Emad Al Swealmeen detonated a bomb outside the hospital after pulling up in a Delta taxi in which he was a passenger on Remembrance Sunday last year. Al Swealmeen died when his homemade explosive containing 1,000 ball bearings went off in the back of the car, shattering the windscreen.
The taxi driver, David Perry, made a miraculous escape as the bomb detonated on November 14, 2021. The UK terror threat level was raised to "severe" after the bomb blast, while the hospital trust remained at the centre of a major incident for the following 10 days.
