A 92-year-old woman facing deportation has been given permission to stay in the UK.
More than 150,000 people signed a petition supporting Myrtle Cothill, from South Africa, who had been ordered to fly home by the Home Office.
The widow, who came to the UK on a tourist visa, has heart problems, is losing her eyesight and cannot walk unaided.
Mrs Cothill has been cared for by her daughter in Dorset since coming to the UK in 2014.
