A couple have married on a hospital coronavirus ward after an urgent appeal for a registrar.
Phillip, 78, and Patricia, 88, from Coventry, tied the knot at the city’s University Hospital where Patricia is being treated for Covid-19.
Their wedding came after hospital staff member Joanna Shakespeare appealed on Twitter for help to find a registrar.
The NHS trust says it was “an afternoon we won’t forget”.
The couple have known each other for more than 46 years after first meeting on the set of a pantomime they were both working on.
The trust say they were planning to marry after the pandemic but after waiting a year their plans changed and they asked for help from hospital staff.
