Nottingham Forest fan, 92, enjoys emotional return to ground

A 92-year-old football fan who has lost most of her vision has enjoyed an emotional return to the club.

Lifelong Nottingham Forest supporter Vera Hill was invited back to the City Ground for the team's match against West Ham.

Vera, who only has peripheral vision, stopped going to watch the Reds after she was diagnosed with macular degeneration in 2012.

Her daughter Debbie Caldwell said she approached Nottingham Forest after her mother told her she wanted to hear the fans sing the club anthem, Mull of Kintyre, before kick-off.

The video, which was shared by Nottingham Forest, has been viewed by millions on social media.

"She's just amazed, absolutely amazed," Ms Caldwell said.

"She can't get over it."
