A doctor who raised hundreds of thousands of pounds for the cancer charity she founded has died of the illness, aged 34.
Kate Granger, a specialist in geriatric medicine with a particular interest in palliative care, was diagnosed with a rare and incurable form of cancer in 2011.
On Sunday morning her husband, Chris Pointon confirmed on Twitter that she had died the previous day surrounded by loved ones. "RIP my soul mate & TY. Love u 4ever...," Pointon wrote.
Peacefully & surrounded by loved ones @grangerkate passed away yesterday. RIP my soul mate & TY. Love u 4ever...
During her final days, Granger remained active on Twitter, thanking hospital staff and those who continued to back her campaign for their support and sharing touching moments she shared with her husband at her bedside.

On Tuesday she apologised for the lack of "death bed live" tweets, citing a lack of energy, but said she was "so grateful for everyones support, messages & presents".
Granger became a hugely successful fundraiser after adding charity campaigning to a "bucket list" she compiled after learning she was terminally ill.
When receiving her diagnosis, Granger said the doctor didn't look her in the eye, and as a result she launched #HelloMyNameIs to campaign for more compassionate and personalised care for cancer patients.
The Wakefield native had initially aimed to raise £50,000 for Yorkshire Cancer Centre, but within two years of launching the charity had doubled that.
Over the years, Granger raised money by gaining sponsorship for a variety of "bucket list" targets, including skydiving and playing with the Manchester Medics Orchestra. In 2015 she completed the Leeds 10k run, despite also receiving treatment for her cancer.
Granger also raised money from the sale of her two books, The Other Side and The Bright Side, documenting her experiences as a patient rather than a doctor. In 2015 she was awarded with an MBE.
Just days before her death she achieved her most ambitious goal yet of raising £250,000 for charity.
Granger received a handwritten letter from prime minister Theresa May congratulating her on the achievement.
In her last days @GrangerKate got a hand written letter from @theresa_may #hellomynameis look how it starts. #RIPdoc
Tributes to Granger and her charitable work flooded social media on Sunday.
St Gemma's Hospice in Leeds, where she received treatment in her final days, said "it was our privilege to care for Kate".
It was our privilege to care for Kate, Chris and their loved ones. You are in our thoughts. #AlwaysHere #RIPKate https://t.co/WSUwbbGYL9
Her medical colleagues also shared their condolences, and noted the impact her campaigning would have on them.
Kate Granger was a remarkable human being and a caring doctor - #hellomynameis is just one example of the legacy she leaves.
"@GrangerKate's wonderful legacy is she will continue to help patients & be remembered each time we #hellomynameis as we introduce ourselves," Dr SLS, a paediatrics registrar tweeted.
Dermatologist Dr Justine Kluk called Granger "an inspirational and extraordinary lady".

Dr Ellen McCourt, the newly appointed chair of the British Medical Association's junior doctors committee, said Granger "challenged us to make us better doctors".
Remembering @GrangerKate an amazing women. Challenged us to make us better doctors. RIP. #hellomynameis
Many doctors, including McCourt, had added #HelloMyNameIs to their Twitter name in Granger's memory.
More than 4,000 people have contributed to Granger's most recent fundraising target.
