THE Ploughboy Inn at Burraton, Saltash, went yellow to join the campaign to highlight the service given by St Luke's Hospice, Plymouth, for patients from Devon and East Cornwall. Volunteer painters from a local specialist company, Paintel, who normally paint the Tamar Bridge, were busy at work transforming the pub's walls from magnolia to yellow, and flower baskets outside and planters were covered with yellow flowers. The pub was turned bright yellow to celebrate St. Luke's 'go yellow' awareness day. The ploughboy's owners, Sheila and Ben Lennox-Boyd, agreed to the re-paint as a tribute to former employee and friend Jez Hirst who was cared for at St Luke's before his death. Jez had served in the army for 11 years with the Devon and Dorset Regiment, and on coming out, worked for a security firm and in the evenings at the Brunel pub, Saltash.
