Mr Stone and Marie Curie ambassador Anneka were pictured with Marie Curie rapid response healthcare assistant Lukmon Adeyemi at a parliamentary event to mark the launch of the 2020 appeal.

Anneka said: “We all want to be well looked after at the end of our lives. Marie Curie needs our help, so that it can help more people have a good death. I’m so proud to support it.”

Mr Stone, the Liberal Democrat MP for Caithness, Sutherland and Easter Ross, said: “Many of has have relied on Marie Curie nurses to provide someone we love with the vital care they need at the end of life.

“By donating to Marie Curie by buying one of its daffodil pins, we can raise awareness about the amazing work this charity provides and make sure it has the finances to be there for more people when they need help most.

“The outstanding work of Marie Curie is close to my heart and I am thrilled to support the Great Daffodil Appeal.”
