“I did the abseil on my birthday as a treat to myself and to say thanks for the crews at London Ambulance Service.
“We live in a community of older people and it’s not unusual to see ambulance crews come into the Royal Hospital Chelsea to provide help and support. People at the ambulance service are the real heroes.

“I treated myself to a nice cup of tea and a cream bun afterwards.”
