Hilary, 71, & Justin, 94, met over 30 years ago while working at The University of Leeds, where Justin was a senior lecturer & Hilary was the keeper of the university’s art collection. They decided to marry in early 2020, but this was put on hold due to the pandemic.

A hospital scan revealed that he had a tumour which was pressing on his spine, leaving him unable to use his legs.
