An Intercity Express train bears the name of a tireless fundraiser.
Paramedic Kathryn Osmond died on her 41st birthday in 2017.
She was nominated as part of Great Western Railway’s 100 Great Westerners after her efforts to raise awareness of melanoma.
Kathryn worked for South Western Ambulance Service NHS Foundation (SWAST) for 16 years and passed away after a battle with melanoma.
The train naming took place in front of members of Kathryn’s immediate family, friends and a large contingent of SWAST colleagues at Bristol Temple Meads.
At the unveiling Kathryn's wife, Sara Osmond, said: "Today is a lot of things - it marks the day my wife was born. "It marks the day my wife went onto her next adventure, the one we couldn’t join her on.
"It also marks the day that after two years my wife goes back to service.
“Kathryn was a consummate and dedicated professional throughout her working life.
"She remains a respected role model and leader, qualities I am confident her namesake will carry forward.
“I am so very grateful for the continuing support from the Green Family [the South West Ambulance Service] - thank you, every one of you."
Jenny Winslade, executive director of nursing and governance, medical for the South West Ambulance Service, said: “Looking back across her career, Kath stood out as a dedicated clinician, passionately caring about the patients she treated, as well as caring for her work colleagues.
“She courageously went onto inspire thousands of people sharing her experience online - as she then became the patient – helping others whilst going through treatment for an aggressive form of malignant melanoma.
“Kath has left a hole in the lives of so many people she worked with and we were all devastated by her loss.
"It was an honour to know her and to have worked with her.”
Joe Graham, GWR Business Assurance Director, said: "Kathryn epitomises the spirit of the Great Western in so many ways and achieved so much in trying to help others."
