Coronavirus: 'My dad called me to say he was dying'

The daughter of a coronavirus victim has told the BBC about the phone call he made to her on his deathbed.

Douglas Mayne, who died on 31 March, was a former paramedic who co-ordinated the ambulance response to the Brighton bombing.

Cathy Khan said the family had said goodbye to her father by waving for "about 60 seconds" through a pane of glass and that it was "incredibly distressing".
