Introducing 'Forever Holding Hands', the third of a series of telephone calls that The Duchess of Cambridge held with participants from the Hold Still project. Taken by Hayley Evans from West Sussex, this emotive portrait captures the photographer’s grandparents Pat and Ron Wood. The couple, who had been married for 71 years, were admitted a week apart to the covid ward at Worthing Hospital. Shortly after this photograph was taken Pat passed away in her sleep, followed by Ron only 5 days later. Together, forever holding hands.
