Schofield said his mother had joined his father, her “beloved Brian”, who died in 2008.

He continued: “Our eternal thanks to the paramedics. Treliske A&E and Critical Care team who have been, in the past and this weekend, my mum’s and our angels. Your love and care has been our saviour.”

“I love you mum, forever,” Schofield added, with a heartbreak emoji.

He later shared a video of a plane flying overhead, captioning it: “God I loved her for wanting to do this. One of the oldest ever ladies to wing walk.”
