A Stonehaven women has opened up on her husband's selfless final act when his organs were donated after he suffered two major strokes.

Arlene Hutchison's husband Mark was rushed to hospital after having the strokes within a few days of each other.

He was treated in the intensive care unit at Aberdeen Royal Infirmary but it soon became clear that Mark had suffered significant damage to his brain during the strokes and would not survive.

Following his death, four people became recipients for Mark's organs, with one person's life being "completely changed" after gaining two kidneys from Mark.

Arlene said that she, her son Jack and their entire family were treated with "so much dignity and respect" and supported them during "our darkest moments and when Mark passed away".
