Katelen Green, formerly Cheshire, has died just weeks after celebrating her dream Christmas-themed wedding to her partner Billy.

The 24-year-old from Malinslee, was diagnosed with stage four Hodgkin's lymphoma when she was just 19.

Despite undergoing chemotherapy, a stem cell transplant and going into remission twice, she was told her cancer had returned for a third time last year while planning her dream wedding.

In November, after hearing her story, no fewer than 34 local businesses rallied around the pair to give her a dream wedding for free at Stanford Farm.
