An elderly man with terminal cancer married his partner from his hospital bed in a heartwarming ceremony.
Malcolm Eyles, 68, tied the knot with his fiancé of 10 years, Maureen Blackwell, from his hospital bed at Worcestershire Acute Royal Hospital on Monday.
The wedding was arranged at short notice and nurses at the hospital helped organise the intimate ceremony.
Two cardiology nurses witnessed the ceremony for them while a group of nurses took the honours of tossing flower petals at the couple in celebration.
The video was shared on Worcestershire Acute Royal Hospital’s Instagram page with the caption: “Patient gets married in hospital bed.
“Malcolm finally married his long-time partner Maureen from his hospital bed at Worcestershire Royal Hospital today.
“The wedding was arranged at short notice with the help of ward staff after it was heartbreakingly discovered Malcolm had terminal cancer.
“Malcolm was admitted to hospital last week following some chest pain, but scans revealed he in fact had lung cancer.
“Congratulations to the couple for finally tying the knot after 10 years of engagement!”
Last Friday, Malcolm was shopping when he felt chest pains and was taken to Worcestershire Acute Royal Hospital.
His scans later revealed he had terminal cancer.
