Former EastEnders legend Pam St Clement has moved social media users with an emotional tribute to NHS staff following the death of her father, Geoffrey.
The 81-year-old actress, best known for playing Pat Butcher in the BBC soap, took to Instagram to share her profound gratitude towards the healthcare professionals who provided "wonderful care" to her father during his final days.
Heartfelt Social Media Tribute
In a touching post that has since gone viral, St Clement wrote: "My dear Dad, Geoffrey, passed away last week. He was looked after with such wonderful care by the amazing staff of our NHS."
She continued with powerful words of appreciation: "Thank you seems such a small word to offer in return for their dedication and compassion."
Celebrity Support Floods In
The emotional message quickly garnered support from fellow celebrities, most notably from former EastEnders co-star Patsy Palmer. The Bianca Jackson actress responded with a simple yet heartfelt: "Sending love," accompanied by a red heart emoji.
Other followers joined in the outpouring of support, with one writing: "So sorry for your loss Pam. The NHS staff really are angels," while another commented: "Sending condolences. The NHS does incredible work every single day."
A Timely Reminder of NHS Dedication
St Clement's public acknowledgement comes at a time when the National Health Service continues to face significant pressures. Her personal story serves as a powerful reminder of the human dedication behind the healthcare system.
The actress, who left EastEnders in 2012 after 26 years playing the iconic Pat Butcher, has often used her platform to support charitable causes and speak about important social issues.
This moving tribute not only honours her father's memory but also shines a well-deserved spotlight on the compassion and professionalism of NHS staff during difficult times for families across the UK.
