'Nobody will ever part us again': Heartbreaking moment dying wife renews wedding vows on diamond anniversary
This is the heart-wrenching moment a dying wife, with just days left to live, renewed her vows in a moving ceremony on her 60th wedding anniversary.
Janet Jones, 79, was diagnosed with terminal cancer earlier this year but vowed to stay alive long enough to see her diamond wedding anniversary.
And yesterday her wish was realised as she renewed her vows with husband Gethin, 85, at Compton Hospice in Wolverhampton.

Close friends and family members attended the ceremony, which took place 60 years to the day that the couple first tied the knot in 1954.
Pictures taken at the service – conducted by hospice chaplain Reverend Elaine Anderton – show the couple holding hands and lighting candles.
Others show them embracing happily and smiling for the camera as a frail Janet sits surrounded by well-wishers.
Speaking afterwards, she said: ‘They can keep knocking that door, but I said I am not going anywhere until I have seen our diamond wedding anniversary.
‘And depending how I feel, I might even stay a few days longer. I now feel my life is complete.
‘If the good Lord will give me a little more time to tell everybody how much I love them.
‘I would very much like that, but if not, I will thank him for the time he has given me with Gethin.
'He has always been so kind to me and has always looked after me.
‘I’ve loved every second with Gethin, I can’t imagine having my life without him.
‘I know the time will come soon when I am away from Gethin for a bit, and I know he will miss me.
‘But I know one day we will all be back together again.’
The pair met at a dance in Willenhall, West Midlands, and got married at St Anne’s Church in the town on June 26, 1954.
They didn’t have any children, and devoted their lives to running Janet’s baby clothing shop in the town centre.
Speaking about their first encounter, Janet told how she threw a custard pie in the face of a love rival who was also interested in Gethin.

She said: ‘There was another girl, Hazel, who had eyes for him.
‘I told her to stay away because I wanted him, but she said “We’ll see about that”.
‘I went out of the room, and bought a large custard pie. I asked Hazel if she liked custard pies, to which she replied “yes”.
‘Then I splattered the pie in her face and said “Well try that one for size and don’t come back here again”.
‘Later my Gethin told me I needn’t have worried because I was his light and shining star, and that I was the one he wanted, and no one else.’
Janet has asked her nephew Ralph and his wife Lynn to keep her ashes until Gethin’s death.
She added: ‘When my Gethin is ready to come to me, they are going to put our ashes together and take them to Barmouth where we loved to go.
‘The ashes will be thrown into the sea and nobody will ever part us again.’
