Emily Buxton, 12, dressed in a white sparkly dress and carried a bouquet in the special event for her mum, Jane Buxton, 46.

Jane has been diagnosed with squamous cell carcinoma, a form of skin cancer that develops on the outside of the skin, and in January was given just months to live.

‘Emily and I are determined to make the most of the time we have left together. So we decided to stage a photoshoot of all her milestones I’ll miss, including her wedding day,’ said Jane.

As Jane fixed Emily’s veil, she wiped away tears from her eyes.

‘It breaks my heart that I won’t be there for the real thing, but now she’ll know I’m always with her,’ said Jane.
