1 Hospital is probably not the best place to be when Christmas comes around. But in some wards at the Radcliffe Infirmary in Oxford, as these festive pictures show, there was still plenty of fun and laughter for staff and patients to enjoy. There was much excitement when Mickey Mouse, in Picture 1, paid a surprise visit with his friends, Pluto and Goofy, to the children’s ward in 1971. Five-year-old Edward South couldn’t resist kissing such a big nose. The larger-than-life characters also left behind a large Christmas cake for the young patients to enjoy.
