Heartbreaking Pictures Show Terminally Ill Father-Of-Six, 64, Tying The Knot From His Hospital Bed After Being Told To 'Expect The Worst'

Christopher Gunner, 64, of Woking, Surrey, was diagnosed with lung cancer in April 2015, but his health rapidly deteriorated and this week and he was rushed to hospital. 

He had planned to marry partner Kathleen in a big ceremony in April this year - but doctors warned the family to expect the worst and bring forward their nuptials. Staff at the Royal Surrey County Hospital, Guildford, helped the pair organise a ceremony in less than 24 hours. 

These heartbreaking pictures show the moment 30 people crammed into a tiny hospital room to watch the couple tie the knot (left, top and bottom right). Fulfilling his wish before his death, Mr Gunning said the occasion was a 'lovely day to remember'.
