The Hackney-based health care facility took to their Facebook page on Sunday to share pictures of their "very special delivery".

St Joseph's Hospice in London were sent flowers from the royal wedding
The floral decorations were designed by royal florist Philippa Craddock. She used foliage largely sourced from The Crown Estate and Windsor Great Park to create a truly personalised look for the day. The bouquets included peonies, foxgloves and white garden roses, which were loved by the late Princess Diana. Speaking about her royal couple's sweet gesture, Claire Learner, a spokesperson from St Joseph's Hospice told HELLO!: "To see the faces of the patients when they received the flowers was just fantastic, I'll never forget that moment. There's such excitement and a huge buzz around the hospice today and that's all thanks to the wonderful Phillipa Craddock and of course the newlyweds Harry and Meghan. Just amazing."
