A Bride-to-be who is fighting cancer will tie the knot with a full head of hair after a friend made a gift of her own locks for a made-to-measure wig.
Ellie Jeffery, 29, lost her hair after receiving her fifth dose of chemotherapy during her hospital treatment.
She was unsure how to cover her head for her wedding to fiance Tom Thostrup, 35, in North Yorkshire on June 10.

Then well-wisher Miffy Grubb, 29, stepped forward and offered her own hair for Ellie's big day.
Now Miss Grubb has shaved her head and donated her hair to her friend.
Ellie, from Brixton, South London, told her friends about the gift on a blog which chronicles her battle with the illness.
Ellie wrote: 'Not only is this a massively brave and generous thing to do, it will also provide me with hair to use for a made-to-measure wig.
'If I don't end up with hair for the wedding, the plan was to invest in a real-hair weave that would be stuck on.
'Because of Miffy's amazingness, I now have the hair.'
