GRAVESHAM mayor Derek Sales and mayoress Pam Sales paid the Ellenor Lions Hospice in Northfleet at a visit on Christmas Day to spread some festive cheer.

The hospice, which also has a site in Dartford, provides care for patients 24/7, every day of the year.

A spokesman for the Coldharbour Road centre said: "It was wonderful to have them with us on such a special day."
