A Scots cancer victim has thanked nurses for making his wedding to his fiance happen, despite him being in hospital.
David Collins, from Port Glasgow, married his partner Sandra at a ceremony at the Inverclyde Royal Hospital on May 5, organised by the staff at the Greenock site.
The newlyweds said their day wouldn't have been possible without the help of the 'amazing' staff.

After hearing the difficult news that he would require palliative care support moving forward, David decided to ask his partner of 16 years Sandra to marry him.
With the help of the H South team, an area of the hospital was transformed into a wedding venue, giving David and his bride a day to remember.
David, a former painter and decorator, said: “The staff were absolutely brilliant, they made the day so special for us both. It didn’t matter that it was in a hospital, the way they made the place look was incredible. They went so above and beyond to make our day special for us.

“Thankfully the staff managed to look after her until I was ready. When I was waiting for Sandra to come through the doors I just remember thinking how excited I was to be marrying her and how much I was looking forward to it.
“The minister who married us was from the Queen Elizabeth University Hospital, he said he had never married a couple who were smiling so much and that was such a nice thing to say. It
