Nurses sang a dying coronavirus patient's favourite song while she said her final goodbyes and took her last breath.

Brenda Evans, 69, died at Salford Royal Hospital on Thursday after testing positive for the deadly infection.

As the nurses on her ward tried to prepare her for the end, they asked her what her favourite song was.

Mrs Evans, who suffered from underlying health conditions, told them she loved The Sound of Music from the 1965 hit musical, so they played it for her and began to sing along.
