Longest-surviving heart transplant patient in UK

Sandy Law had her first heart transplant in 1982, and 40 years on she is now the longest-surviving heart transplant patient in the UK.

To mark the anniversary, Mrs Law, who lives in Newcastle but spends much of her time touring Europe in a motorhome, has been reunited with some of the team who looked after her, including the surgeon who performed her operation.

The BBC captured the moment.
