Here we re-live the moment in photos that brave Leanna, of Mansfield, who is terminally ill walked down the aisle at Newstead Abbey.

The 27-year-old found out she had cancer just months before the couple were originally due to be married in 2012, and since then she had fought a tough battle against Hodkins Lymphoma.

The couple, of Lord Street, were determined to get married and asked for help with the costs as William had to reduce his shifts at work to help care for her.
