Winton Salvationist Mary Randell has received an MBE for her work with the homeless. The caring pensioner who washes the feet of homeless people has been awarded an MBE for her services to the community in the Queen's Birthday Honours List.
Mrs Mary Randell, 64, is an active church member of The Salvation Army in the Winton area of Bournemouth and for 12 years has been at the front line of the international Christian church and charity's work with the homeless community in the region.
On hearing of the award, Mary responded in her typically modest manner: "I am just amazed that an honour like this would come my way and I am humbled. I love this job. It is a joy to help my friends on the street and I am blessed with an excellent team of volunteers who must share in this honour with me."
