Daughter who hadn't seen her mother in 18 months dresses up as waitress to surprise her

A mother was left stunned after her daughter, whom she hadn’t seen for 18 months, dressed up as a waiter at a local pub and served her.

Spanish teacher Sophie Nugent, who lives in Doha, Qatar, with her husband, had not been able to return to the UK for more than a year because of travel restrictions.

Emma gasped and stared blankly at her daughter before the pair embrace.
