Id like to have stood up and tried to walk a little bit of it, but i just couldnt. Just too weak . Yes. The crowds at the hospital were just the start. Mandys husband kevin was filming as an ambulance drove her home through the devon town of holsworthy. Cheering. To see all those people out there for you, how was that . Ifelt like i was in a carnival procession church bells were ringing, there were balloons, banners, the police had closed the roads. Im not used to all of that attention. And look at the turnout in the tiny hamlet where she lives. Partly because, while mandy was in a coma, her mum died from an unrelated medical condition. What do you make of the love
and support you have had from the community . One story of strength after weeks of sorrow. Jon kay, bbc news, devon. What a welcome home. Time for a look at the weather heres stav da naos. Thank you, sophie. Good evening. Today was the peak of this short lived heatwave. We saw the highest temperature of the year so far in the uk at heathrow, but it wasnt just england that saw the highest temperature of the year so far. Wales also, 31 celsius in cardiff, and we also saw 30 celsius in southern scotland at prestwick. For Northern Ireland, the 26. 2 celsius didnt quite beat the 26. 7 celsius
we saw in Northern Ireland on the 1st ofjune. Classic british summer weather, its all going to go out with a bang. We will see thunderstorms developing across Western Areas which will increase. This rain will move northwards across much of wales into Northern Ireland and western scotland overnight, may be a few across the south but generally drive further east for now. Its going to be a warm and muggy night wherever you are. On friday we have the storms and showers in the west, then a band of showers and thunderstorms moving northwards across england and wales. Not everyone will get one, but if you do you will see lightning, hail and torrential rain which could cause disruption. Here are the temperatures, still warm across the eastern side of england. Generally it wont be quite as hot but the humidity will still be there. Into the weekend, big changes. A deep area of low pressure moves in off the atlantic. That brings fresher,
cooler weather to our shores. For saturday and sunday, strong winds coming in from the south west. 0nly mid teens in the north, but in the south we could still see around 21 degrees. Thank you. Thats all from the bbc news at six so its goodbye from me and on bbc one we nowjoin the bbcs news teams where you are. Hello and welcome to sportsday. Kick
