He met with families and staff during his annual visit
The Easter Bunny's been paying a visit to Hampshire's Naomi House & Jacksplace hospice, in his latest annual pilgrimage.
He arrived by helicopter, with help from long-term supporters of the charity, the Gazelle Squadron Display Team.
The bunny then handed out chocolate eggs to the children and young adults, before speaking with them, their families and staff.
Claire Potterton, Play and Activities Team Leader at Naomi House & Jacksplace, said:
“Every year, the Gazelle Squadron Display Team volunteer their time to fly their helicopter to Naomi House & Jacksplace and bring a special guest for the children and young adults, Santa at Christmas or the Easter Bunny during Easter! It is a long-standing Naomi House tradition and families look forward to it every year.
“Their visits to the hospices are a real highlight and bring cheer, excitement and fun. It’s just wonderful for them to share an extra little bit of magic with the families in our care.”
The Easter Bunny said:
"Naomi House & Jacksplace is so close to my heart, it's a very special place. Every year I love hopping into one of the Gazelle Squadron’s helicopters and visiting the hospices with the crew, to bring some happiness, joy (and chocolate!) to the children and families.”
