Paralysed man in bionic suit walks daughter down aisle

A man paralysed by cancer has 'walked' his daughter down the aisle at her wedding with the use of a bionic suit.

Chris Palmer says being able to give Heather away was "something to be cherished forever".

He told 5 live about what it was like to put on the bionic trousers saying, "it brought back all the memories of the good times, and I knew that when I got out of them I'd be back to square one. But the main thing is it did the job. They helped me do the father's duty".
