80-YR-OLD CANCER PATIENT'S LAST WISH CAME TRUE WHEN HIS HORSE WAS BROUGHT TO HOSPITAL [PHOTOS]

A cancer patient who devoted his life to breeding horses had his last wish granted when his favourite animal was brought to his hospital bedside four days before he died.

Frank Keat, 80, wanted to visit the stables where he worked for 65 years one final time, but was too frail to leave Bodmin Community Hospital where he was being treated for cancer.

Instead, nurses arranged for his relatives to bring his five-year-old horse Early Morn to the hospital, and then took Mr Keat out to the patio for a reunion on Friday.

The equestrian died early yesterday morning - but his family said they were comforted by the thought that he had been able to spend time with the horse, which he had bred since 2010.
