LONDON 19 Apr (ANA) - The heart-warming moment one of Britain's oldest coronavirus survivors, aged 102, left hospital after defeating the deadly disease has been caught on camera.

The poignant footage shows great gran Vera Beeley exiting the Northern General Hospital in Sheffield, South Yorkshire, England  to a standing ovation from dozens of doctors and nurses.

The centenarian was diagnosed with Covid-19 on Easter Monday after being admitted to hospital from her care home the previous day after complaining of a cough.

She spent a week bravely battling the disease, which has claimed the lives of more than 15,000 Britons, before being given the all clear on Friday April 17.

Vera, a retired cleaner from Sheffield, has two children, four grandchildren and seven great grandchildren. Her daughter Irene Whitehead said: 'She is a little fighter and we are all over the moon that she has beaten Covid-19.'(ANA)
