Anne Nolan rings bell to spell end of her chemotherapy treatment in heartwarming video

Linda Nolan triumphantly rings a bell to spell the end of her chemotherapy treatment in a heartwarming video shared by her family.

Anne, the eldest of The Nolans singing dynasty, jubilantly waves her arms as she rings the ceremonial bell in the video clip.

She's applauded by hospital staff as she marks the important moment in her treatment for breast cancer.

The video was posted by her nephew Shane Nolan, the son of her younger sister Coleen.

Loose Women panelist Coleen is youngest of the Irish girl group.

"This video wins the internet today folks. My beautiful Aunty Anne ringing that bell #nomorechemo," he tweeted.

The video was also shared by sister Linda, 61.

"Oh my, that's fantastic! Wins hands down, such good news for her and your entire family. xxx" said one follower.

"That’s brilliant news Shane, made me a little teary x" said another.

"That’s fantastic news," tweeted another follower.

Both Anne and Linda, who have previously battled the disease, were diagnosed with cancer during lockdown after losing their sister Bernie to breast cancer in 2013.

Linda was diagnosed with liver cancer while Anne learned she had stage three breast cancer, 20 years after she was first diagnosed with the illness.

Linda was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2006, cellulitis and lymphoedema in her arm in 2007 and secondary cancer on her pelvis in 2017.

Speaking of her and Anne both being diagnosed during lockdown, Linda branded it a “double nightmare” because they couldn't support each other in person.
