One of Britain's oldest women has beaten coronavirus and is now "looking better than ever before," her family has said.
Mary Catterall, who turned 102 in February, tested positive for the virus in late May.
There were fears she might not survive, but she is now recovering at the care home where she has lived for several years.
Her daughter Edith, was 75, said: "She looked really good when I went to see her last. The staff at the home have taken really good care of her.
“It’s only in the last couple of weeks that I have been able to see her, and that has been wonderful.
“The staff had been sending me video calls so I was able to see her, but seeing her in person, she was looking really well.”
Mary was born in 1918 and moved to Warrington in Cheshire as a child, where she has lived ever since.
She left school aged 14 and got a job in a mill before working in a munitions factory during the Second World War.
Edith said: “The last time we spoke to her she said, ‘it’s about time I kicked the bucket!’
“She is a tough old bird. She’s now looking better than ever.
