Britain on Wednesday celebrates 75 years of its National Health Service (NHS), with royals, politicians, staff and patients expressing pride in its past and determination that it will endure in the future despite current challenges.

Launched on July 5, 1948, by a Labour government following the Second World War, its mission was to ensure "everybody, irrespective of means, age, sex or occupation shall have equal opportunity to benefit from the best and most up-to-date medical and allied services available."

"For 75 years, the NHS has existed for an enduring moral purpose: To give every single person in our country the security that comes from knowing that if you're sick, you will be cared for," Prime Minister Rishi Sunak said in a speech last week.

"Wishing everyone a very happy 75th birthday of the NHS," William said, and his wife Kate added: "thank you so much for all you do."
