Dr Ferguson started work at the Lancing Health Centre in 1976, and the practice moved to Sompting in 1983. He also works at Worthing Hospital's eye department once a week, which he still hopes to continue.

Dr Ferguson came to Lancing from Nepal, where he had worked as a missionary doctor for four years. Residents and staff raised 1,000, which will go to a missionary hospital in Tansen, Nepal, where Dr Ferguson had originally worked.

He said: "Many people have asked what I plan to do with my retirement. Well, the truth is first that I have already retired. I went part-time several years ago and have already found lots of DIY and gardening things to do.

"I still have sporting things I like to do, as well as bird watching. I am very involved with our church in Broadwater and there are exciting things going on there.

"We have our daughter, son-in-law, and two grandsons in Bristol. It will be nice to visit them and not have to rush away."
