She said: “It was such an amazing gesture. People are really behind the NHS and that’s making a massive difference.”

Isobelle works on a maternity ward at Pinderfields General Hospital, Wakefield, West Yorks.

She wrote online she felt “like a right idiot” using her card but other shoppers were happy to step aside. The donor approached her as she went to pay £56.85 for her shopping in Pontefract.”
