An NHS nurse put his hand on his heart in thanks to colleagues as he finally left hospital after a seven-week battle with Covid-19.
Orlando Fulgencio was wheeled out to huge cheers and applause from staff who lined the corridors to celebrate his "remarkable recovery".
The frailty unit nurse raised his arms in appreciation as dozens of medical workers turned out to wish him well in his continued recuperation.
Mr Fulgencio, who works at Eastbourne District General Hospital (DGH) in East Sussex, will carry on his recovery from coronavirus at home.
