LAST NIGHT, three Gwent hospitals were lit up blue and coloured in a beautiful rainbow effect to remember those who have lost their lives due to covid-19.

The Royal Gwent in Newport, Nevill Hall in Abergavenny and Ysbyty Ystrad Fawr in Ystrad Mynach were all turned blue to remember those who have passed away with the disease. 

They were then coloured in a rainbow effect as the health board thanked NHS staff and key workers.
