A TEAM of doctors and nurses who helped arrange a dying man's wedding have been put nominated for a Proud of Barnsley award.
Staff on Ward 24 helped organise Dan Green and his partner Maureen's big day on January 16.
They created an aisle for the couple to walk down, trimmed up the ward, organised flowers, party poppers and confetti, played the wedding march and held a buffet afterwards.
Lead nurse Cath Fretwell said Dan, who was in his 70s, had suffered from a terminal haematology condition and had been a regular patient for about six years.

We have been at the heart of our community, every week, since 1858. The town and its people have changed dramatically since then but the Chronicle has been a constant.
It’s our belief that news should be available to everyone regardless of their circumstance. But we need a little helping hand to do so.
Production Editor, Ashley Ball, said: "In an ever changing media world, it’s important that news is reported correctly and without any hidden agenda.
Your support allows us to keep holding decision-makers to account and report on everything that happens in the town, good or bad, fairly."
