Today Mark and his wife Emma opened the NHS Children’s Garden for St George’s Hospital. The Charity tweeted saying “It went really well. Mark was a great guest of honour and kindly posed for many photos which we’ll post on our website soon!” @GivingtoGeorges

Also Mark and his fellow bandmates had a surprise for the Charity by given them massive £20k donation.

We were delighted to welcome Mark and Emma Owen to St George’s this afternoon, to open our children’s garden.

The garden was looking resplendent after a week’s worth of April showers and at times torrential rain. But the rain held off… just!

A garden especially for younger patients has been a dream for years and now it’s a reality. It incorporates ideas and features suggested by the children, including a vegetable patch and an animal enclosure. The two pygmy rabbits arrived on Monday and have been called – rather aptly – Howard and Jason.

We were joined by Sadiq Khan, MP for Tooting, and his family, as well as children (and their families) who have been treated at St George’s.

We moved indoors for afternoon tea and children’s activities, including willow weaving, and clowning around with Smartie Artie.

Mark said “It’s truly magical”.
