The patients of a Sheffield hospital got to enjoy a heartwarming message written in the snow outside their windows today.

Many people laid up in Royal Hallamshire Hospital might have missed out on the snow today (March 9) – but someone saw fit to try and cheer them up despite whatever they are going through.

They used the snow on the hospital’s multi-storey car park to write ‘Get Well Soon’ for everyone on the upper floors to see.

Eyewitnesses told The Star how the message was the work of “a group of lads”, while others were simply surprised to look outside and see the sentiment.

One woman told The Star: “My husband has been very ill this week and it’s been very difficult, when the nurse took me by the shoulders and said ‘I’ve got something to show you’, and had me look out the window. I think it’s such a lovely gesture.”
