She made a return visit to Russia in 1962, and visited the Holy Land in 1966. In 1974, the year in which her First World War diaries were published, she was the subject of a programme English Nurse with the Tsar's Army in the BBC Television documentary series Yesterday's Witness. She was also awarded Honorary Life Membership of the British Red Cross. By this time she was living in a retirement home in Cheshire, although the final part of her life was spent at the home of her nephew. The idea of publishing a book based on her 1914–18 diaries and photographs, which had been carefully preserved by her sister Margaret, came as a result of an exhibition she gave of her Russian memorabilia at Heswall in April 1971. She declined the services of a ghost writer and, working daily from morning until night over a period of thirteen months, she prepared her manuscript entirely by herself, producing over 400,000 words. By her own admission, that was "much too much", and in the event her publisher cut "almost half of it". Florence Farmborough died in 1978, aged 91. She never married. A substantial proportion of her photographs are held by the Imperial War Museum, in the Florence Farmborough collection.
