Barbara Ryder, 59, is one of only four people in the UK to have made an altruistic kidney donation.
The Launceston nurse, who works at Derriford Hospital in Plymouth, gave her organ to Andy Loudon, 68, a retired carpenter from Bedfordshire.
She said: “The kidney was literally a spare part and I thought ‘good, at last I can do something physically useful’.”

From the page: “Here is a sampling of some of my favorite ghost photos I’ve come across while doing research for my book, The Case for Ghosts.
