Former UUP MLA Jo-Anne Dobson and her son Mark are now 'home sweet home' after undergoing major surgery.

Ms Dobson donated her kidney to her son Mark in recent days to improve his quality of life as he suffered kidney problems from birth.

Mark received his first kidney transplant in 2009 but lost his donated organ in August last year.

"Mark & I are safely back home from the City Hospital after our transplant operations.

"We have nothing but admiration for the truly amazing people who have been looking after us at Ward 11 South at Belfast City Hospital & send them our heartfelt thanks & love!"
