iTunes iPhone recovery stuck on Verifying updated iPhone software

Help please. My phone froze last Sunday and I have been without it since as was away on holiday. I tried updating/restoring via iTunes but had slow WiFi and an old laptop so now trying again as home. Software downloaded quickly, but iTunes now stuck saying Verifying updated iPhone software. Phone shows Apple logo and progress bar but not progress? Any suggestions please as lost without my phone. Thank you

iPhone 7
