A grandfather given just two months to live says he is making the most of every day thanks to a lung transplant.

Andy Bright, 58, from Birmingham, was diagnosed with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) in 2013.

The condition sees the lungs become scarred and makes it increasingly difficult to breathe.

Mr Bright said he had eventually accepted the doctors' prognosis, but news there was no cure had initially been "terrifying".

"You don't know when it's going to kill you", he told the Local Democracy Reporting Service.
