This is the heartwarming moment a 102-year-old great gran was applauded as she left hospital after beating coronavirus.
The video above shows Vera Beeley leaving Northern General Hospital in Sheffield where she spent a week being treated for Covid-19.
The retired cleaner, from Yorkshire, was diagnosed with the disease on Easter Monday after being admitted to hospital from her care home the previous day after complaining of a cough.
Vera, who has two children, four grandchildren and seven great grandchildren, was given the all-clear on Friday.
Her daughter Irene Whitehead said: “She is a little fighter and we are all over the moon that she has beaten Covid-19.
"She has always been a very strong willed lady and that hasn’t changed.
"We used to ring the hospital every day and they were just brilliant with her, it’s just amazing at her age that she has recovered from this awful virus."
Professor Chris Morley, Chief Nurse at Sheffield Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, said: “I am thrilled to hear that Mrs Beeley has recovered from Covid-19 and I wish her and her family all the best.
"Thank you to our fabulous teams who are working hard to provide the best possible care to our patients at this extraordinary time and continue to strive to deliver the best experience and outcomes for patients like Mrs Beeley, despite the current challenges that they face.”
