A worried granddaughter has shared her joy as her 77-year-old grandmother has fought off the deadly coronavirus.
Amelie Upton, an eight-year-old from Chesham, spoke to the Bucks Free Press about her relief that her grandmother has survived Covid-19.
Her grandmother, Angela, tested positive for the virus on April 20 in Stoke Mandeville hospital.
Angela has dementia, diabetes, cardiovascular disease and other health problems which could make Covid-19 life threatening.
She tested negative on May 12 and left Stoke Mandeville hospital.

Angela is now spending six weeks in a nursing home in Gerrards Cross and has also been recovering from a partial hip replacement she had in early April.
Amelie said: "It’s been a hard time for our family and very worrying.
"To celebrate I have baked a rainbow cake.
"My Nan survived Covid -19!"
Amelia and her mother Lorraine delivered the cake to the nursing home.
They'd like to thank everyone at Stoke Mandeville hospital for the care Angela received.
