In a video circulated on social media, nurses at the hospital lined the corridor to applaud Titchen as she was wheeled out to be sent home.

“We'd like to give our own round of applause to Connie who at 106 is heading home from City Hospital having successfully beaten coronavirus

According to the UK's Metro, her granddaughter Alex Jones said Titchen was looking forward to having fast food from McDonald’s after being discharged but was not yet aware the restaurant was currently closed.

“She has always cooked for herself too, although she likes a cheeky McDonald’s every now and then. I haven’t told her they are closed.”
