Doctors performed an emotional rendition of Ave Maria to celebrate the recovery of a fellow nurse from the coronavirus.
Alicia Borja, 63, was met by applause from her NHS colleagues as she was discharged from Northwick Park Hospital in Harrow, northwest London.
The senior sister from the hospital's accident and emergency department left the Covid-19 unit after four weeks of treatment.
Dr Maxton Pitcher played the powerful Franz Schubert tune on the violin and was accompanied by Katherine Fawcett on the piano.
The consultant gastroenterologist told the Times the special performance was the pinnacle of his musical and medical career.
"It was a spur of the moment thing where we all came together," said Dr Pitcher, who has been brining his violin to the hospital to cheer patients.
"It's just one of those natural moments that will never be replicated. I feel tearful thinking about it."
Dr Pitcher said he felt "completely overcome" when watching his colleague be wheeled out of the door of the Covid-19 unit.
"What's so great is that something like this has captured people's imaginations," he said.
"The hospital has been hit hard - it was the number one in the country for Covid-19 cases before Birmingham took that over."
The Department of Health (DOH) said the number of deaths from coronavirus in the UK now stands at 18,100 - up by 763 from 17,337 the day before.
As of 9am on Wednesday morning, 133,495 people have tested positive for coronavirus across the country, the DoH said in a statement.
Ms Borja, who has been working at the hospital for 15 years, praised the "fantastic team" that helped with her recovery.
She said: "I'm a nurse but it's still scary to go through something like this.
"I was in tears where I was discharged because so many colleagues lined the corridors to wish me well. They are my second family."
There were similar scenes at Conquest Hospital in Hastings when more than 100 NHS staff applauded a nurse who spent 23 days fighting for her life against coronavirus.
Tearful healthcare workers lined the corridors to cheer Uma Pradhan who works for the East Sussex Health Trust.
