A groom with terminal cancer collapsed and died at the altar as his horrified bride walked down the aisle with their son.
Father-of-eleven Paul Wynn, 57, from North Ayrshire, Scotland, collapsed at Saltcoats town hall last Friday just minutes before he was due to be wed to Alison Wynn, his partner of 21 years.
Mr Wynn was originally diagnosed with cancer in May but had only been told it had turned terminal eight days before - prompting him and his partner Alison, 36, to tie the knot before he died.

However, he collapsed just as Alison – who changed her surname by deed poll a few years ago – walked towards him during their wedding with first-aiders unable to revive him.

Sandy, 20, the couple's eldest child, walked her mother down the aisle after the guests were seated.
