A children's hospital in Manchester has thanked singer Ariana Grande, who has continued her Christmas tradition of donating gifts.

The 29-year-old has had a close relationship with Royal Manchester Children's Hospital since they helped treat those injured in the 2017 bombing at her Manchester Arena concert.

In a post on Instagram, interim director of Manchester Foundation Trust Charity Tanya Hamid said: "It's so wondering that Ariana has once again been so thoughtful and made this special donation to our family of hospitals."

"We know Manchester, and in particular Royal Manchester Children's Hospital has a special place in Ariana's heart."

A picture showed dozens of presents underneath a tree with a note saying "thank you Ariana!"

The gifts have been sent out to babies, children and teenagers in hospitals across Greater Manchester, including in Trafford, Wythenshawe and at North Manchester General.
