A loving mum who beamed with joy at seeing her son marry has passed away two days after the ceremony. Mairi Macphail's son Stuart brought his wedding forward after being told his mother had little time left after being diagnosed with cancer.
Mairi herself had married her long-term partner David Keatley just two weeks earlier after their wedding was also brought forward. They married on Easter Saturday after doctors warned the 66-year-old wouldn't make it to the original date later this month.
Her son Stuart followed suit. Though she was not well enough to go to the service in Redditch on Wednesday she was able to watch via a FaceTime link.
