Beloved mum gets devastating diagnosis after children noticed something wasn't right on Harry Potter Studios trip

A woman was diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease after her worried children noticed 'something wasn't right' when they were on a family holiday.

Linda Sutherland, 68, had been suffering from a short temper, weight loss and memory loss. After the death of her husband Ronnie, aged 66, the changes were blamed on depression.

But son Graeme Sutherland, 31, had a feeling that there was more to it. He first noticed something was wrong when he took her to the Harry Potter Studios for her birthday and she got very upset when she couldn't take a photo. After the trip, he took his mother to the doctors, and she was diagnosed with a progressive stage of Alzheimer’s.
