Terminally Ill Toddler Is Best Man At Parents Wedding

A terminally ill two-year old boy with just weeks to live touched the hearts of his congregation as he performed best man duties at his parents' wedding, according to The Kidderminster Shuttle.

Little Charlie Harris-Beard rode his toy car down the aisle to bring his parents their wedding rings, ensuring he made his father Joe Beard and mother Fiona Harris's big day extra special.

The newly weds moved their wedding day forward a year so the youngster, who has acute myeloid leukaemia, could be there with them. Dozens of friends, family and people inspired by Charlie filled St Mary's Church for the special occasion.

Canon Owain Bell, who led the service, said: "This is a very special day. Everybody who knows Joe and Fiona and the family or who has been following the story of Charlie would have felt their hearts touched.

He added: "There was a lot of love in the building and the moment when Charlie came down in the car was rather special. It was very warming."
