A north London mental health centre has been renamed in memory of a psychiatrist who gave 30 years of dedicated service to patients.
From this week, the Fore Street Mental Health Centre in Enfield will be known as The Lucas Building, reflecting the contribution of Richard Lucas, who died last summer, aged 65.
The renaming was the idea of staff and patients of the Muswell Hill Synagogue member, who was awarded an OBE in 2003 for medical services. His widow Lynne was among the 100 people at a ceremony on Monday afternoon.

The ward is to the north of Stamford Hill and is home to a large number of strictly Orthodox residents.
In October the authority caused outrage among Jewish voters after scheduling a by-election in Alexandra ward on the holiest day of the year.
