Dame Deborah Jones has revealed how she hopes to be a part of daughter Eloise’s wedding day in her latest Instagram post.
Deborah, 40, is currently receiving end-of-life care following her diagnosis with incurable bowel cancer.
She is mum to Eloise, 12, and Hugo, 14, with husband Seb.
Tragically she won’t be around to see her daughter walk down the aisle, however, she has now revealed how she hopes to be a part of her wedding day.
