New Mums Tear Up As Band Plays Tribute Outside Baby Ward

This is the moment young mums are honoured on Mother’s Day in Russia by a police brass band standing on elevated platforms outside the maternity ward window.

The charming display took place at the Moscow Regional Perinatal Centre in the city of Balashikha in the western Russian region of Moscow Oblast and chief physician Olga Serova called it an “amazing event that filled the whole hospital with joy”.

She added: “All the mums were happy and smiling, some of them had tears in their eye. Our patients felt the love and respect for their journeys as mothers. It was very important for them.”
