British-Iranian nationals Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe and Anoosheh Ashoori are back in the UK after being freed from years of Iranian detention, BBC transmits.
The pair touched down at RAF Brize Norton in Oxfordshire just after 01:00 GMT on Thursday.
Their release came after months of negotiations between the British and Iranian governments.
After leaving the plane in good spirits, they met their families in the airport for the long-awaited reunions.
A picture taken inside the airport and posted to Twitter by Mr Ashoori’s daughter, Elika Ashoori, showed both returnees standing in a group with their relatives.
The caption read: “Happiness in one pic.”
Ms Zaghari-Ratcliffe’s seven-year-old daughter Gabriella could be seen with her arms round her mother’s neck.
