This is the heart-wrenching moment a bride given less than six months to live after losing her leg to cancer made it down the aisle to marry her partner - during one of their two weddings.

Ellie Dickinson, 28, was diagnosed with stage four osteosarcoma in August 2021 after doctors found a grapefruit-sized tumour in her left calf.

She endured major surgery to replace her tibia and nine months of chemotherapy - before her surgeon decided to amputate her leg below the knee on May 7, 2024.

Just one month later, Ellie was told the cancer had spread to her spine and was slowly paralysing her from the waist down.

She was advised to bring her wedding date - originally scheduled for April 2025 - forward as much as she could after being given less than six months to live.

On November 14, 2024, Ellie had the first of two wedding ceremonies - with another one going ahead eight days later.

She said they were the "most gorgeous" days of her life and she wanted to celebrate with her husband, Max, 29, a gas engineer, and whole family.
