An 82-year-old woman from Jersey has raised over £5,000 for staff at the island's General Hospital by completing a year-long walking challenge.

During the first island-wide lockdown, Lorna Hopley began walking daily laps of her garden in St Brelade.

Inspired by Captain Sir Tom Moore, she hoped to raise £500 for health workers who had helped her following a fall last year.

Instead, her efforts have no raised more than ten times that amount.
