Liverpool Women's Hospital has received an outpouring of support since last year's terror attack.
It's almost a year since the maternity hospital became the centre of a counter terrorism investigation after Emad Al Swealmeen set off a bomb off outside the main entrance at 10.59am on Remembrance Sunday. The bomb blast was captured on security cameras as it caused a Delta taxi to explode in the hospital car park, with 1,000 ball bearings shattering the car windscreen.
The explosion "completely decimated" the hospital's roundabout which has now been refurbished.

Speaking at the opening of the roundabout today (Thursday), Kate Davis, head of fundraising at the hospital, told the ECHO: "Liverpool Women's Hospital has got a great place in many people's hearts, so after the incident in November we saw an outcry of just overwhelming support for the hospital.
"The fire service were absolutely integral to our fundraising, they really had the idea of getting together with the police and the community to make something really positive around the roundabout refurb.
"The roundabout was completely decimated so we wanted to redo the roundabout and we thought we'll work with Archbishop Blanch School, which is a local school in the community, and do a competition to design the roundabout. Poppy Kelly is our winner from Archbishop Blanch School and she's been fantastic."
Kate said the support the hospital has received from people across the city since the terror attack on November 14 last year has been "phenomenal." She added: "People were upset that this had happened but they were really keen to show their love for the hospital and I thought that was a great thing to see.
"We're really moving forward from what happened last year and looking to the future really. Increasing our links with the local community that's been really helped in that regard."
