WE salute the sterling work that Mary Daniel has done to raise the profile of Age Concern Oxfordshire over the past 12 years.

She has been a tireless campaigner and, as chief executive of the charity, has banged the drum for the county’s elderly, infirm and vulnerable to great effect.

Now, aged 63, it’s her time to put her feet up.

Well done, Mary.

We wish you all the best in your retirement.
