Oxygen spectacles and a baby's banana bottle all form part of an exhibition of historic medical artefacts to be shown to patients at Wolverhampton's New Cross will take the handling collection around the wards from 2 to 8 June in a scheme which has been funded by the National Lottery Heritage Fund. Some of the items are from the former Royal Hospital, which closed in 1997, and Wolverhampton-based chemist Reade Brothers and Company."The bottle comes with its own story, and once the story is told, it unlocks memories and anecdotes or sparks questions, and a broad range of topics are explored, ranging from sustainability to social history," said volunteer Helen Statham.

Nick Knowles, 62, looks dapper in a tweed suit while glam fiancée Katie Dadzie, 34, stuns in a floral embellished coat at the RHS Chelsea Flower show
Nick Knowles and fiancée Katie Dadzie pulled out all the stops on Monday as they attended the RHS Chelsea Flower Show held at the held at The Royal Hospital in London. The DIY SOS star, 62, cut a dapper figure as he donned a brown tweed suit paired with a pale pink shirt for the occasion. Nick teamed his smart look with brown brogues, while he carried a large umbrella should the weather take a turn for the worst. Meanwhile, Katie, 34, oozed glamour in a floral embellished coat very fitting for the event. Her long, white coat featured a red floral motif throughout complete with red piping, with the stunner accessorising her eye-catching look with tan wedges and a matching handbag. The couple looked as loved up as ever as they held hands and gazed at each other as they strolled among the crowds. The pair's appearance comes after Katie headed to London's West End with pals as she celebrated her hen party last week. The lingerie brand boss and the TV star began dating in 2021 after they met when their children became friends at a play centre before getting engaged in 2023. And Katie kicked off the wedding celebrations at luxury boutique hotel Karma Sanctum as she was joined by close friends Kirsty Shaw-Rayner and Sherene Fuller. The group arrived on a beer bus and then headed through party district Soho wearing Nick Knowles face masks, much to the amusement of Katie, ahead of partying at Karma Sanctum. Katie was later entertained by two buff men dressed as a fireman and policeman as the party carried on into the early hours. The bride-to-be stepped out for her hen night in a white strapless mini-dress and diamante heels with her brunette locks styled in waves. Katie and the TV star have been subject to cruel trolling during their relationship, with critics mocking their age difference and financial setup. Speaking exclusively to MailOnline, about the 'gold digger' jibes, Katie admitted they don't get to her as much as they used to because she and Nick know its not true. The lingerie brand boss and the TV star began dating in 2021 after they met when their children became friends at a play centre before getting engaged in 2023 She said: 'I think at the start, it was probably more irritating, especially for my family. But now those comments kind of just pass over me because we both know it's not true. 'Nick works hard, he has what he has. I work hard, I have what I have and then we buy each other stuff.' Katie continued: 'We're both really comfortable with where we are with that and you will always get it because there's an age gap. 'I know plenty of people who are together and the same age where someone's using the other one for money and they're not happy. 'So as long as I know it's not true and he knows it's not true, I think that's, that's pretty much all that matters.' Nick has an estimated £7.5 million net worth but Katie has built up an impressive lingerie brand, having launched Boa Boa in 2022.
