Wheatfields Hospice: Wedding couple clean out boiler room
A party for family and friends and a toast to the bride and bridegroom is a traditional way to start married life.
But Dr Peter Hiley and his future bride, Jill Wright, treated their guests to a very different type of celebration – in the boiler room of Wheatfields Hospice.

The couple roped in 30 friends and relatives to clean out the room before their forthcoming nuptials at Leeds Town Hall on August 18.
The pair transformed the space into a new storage area to thank staff who cared for Dr Hiley's first wife, Diana, before she died of bowel cancer at Sue Ryder Care Wheatfields Hospice, Headingley, in 2006.
Dr Hiley said: "Staff at Wheatfields were fantastic with Diana and I wanted to do something special to say thank you for all their support.
"Jill and I felt there is no better way to start our life together than joining our friends on a project for the local community instead of the usual buffet.
"We really wanted to do something special that we can all remember."
