A nurse from Northern Ireland given a Christmas decoration as she cared for a dying woman in Sheffield seven years ago is hoping to trace the Belfast family who first gifted it to her patient.

Holly McGeary — now back living in Co Armagh — recently uncovered a note in the box for the Belleek pottery decoration she now hangs on her Christmas tree every year.
