A London woman has her heart on display at a museum, 16 years after it was removed during a life-saving transplant operation.
Jennifer Sutton, from Ringwood in Hampshire, said it was almost surreal to see life's most important organ on display at the Hunterian Museum.
The 38-year-old said she would now help promote organ donation, describing it as the most beautiful gift.
She was a student when she was diagnosed with restrictive cardiomyopathy, a condition that limits the heart's ability to pump blood around the body.
The then 22-year-old's health deteriorated rapidly, but thankfully, after months of waiting, she was able to receive a transplant.
Her mother had died when she was only 13 years old, after the same operation.
