The UK's first baby heart transplant survivor has celebrated a quarter of a century since her historic operation.
Kaylee Davidson-Olley, of Houghton-le-Spring, near Sunderland, was just five months old when she had the operation at Newcastle's Freeman Hospital.
To mark 25 years since the procedure, Ms Davidson-Olley met medical experts from around the world at Newcastle's Centre for Life.
She was joined by 30 other patients who got new hearts aged under a year.
