When George Murray was admitted to hospital with a water infection on August 6, his family never imagined they would still be waiting for him to come home five months later.
But after an agonising wait due to a shortage of carers, the 90-year-old has finally been reunited with his wife of 70 years.
And there were tears of joy as his wife Dorothy, 89, welcomed George back into their home in Whickham on January 17.
