A committed terminally-ill husband has visited his wife in prison to celebrate their wedding anniversary - even though she plotted to kill him.
Ray Weatherall's wife Hayley, 32, schemed with her secret lover - who was also his best friend of 20 years - Glenn Pollard, 49, to shoot, poison and blow him up.
However despite her being jailed for 15 years in November, the married couple are still seeing each other regularly at Bronzefield Prison in Surrey.
In an anniversary card made by Hayley in the prison 200 miles from her husband's home in Kent, she writes: 'I am so sorry and I love you more than ever.

'You and our babies are all that matters to me and nothing and no one will ever come between us I swear. All my love, hugs and kisses, Hayley,' reports the Mirror.
Mr Weatherall, who has terminal brain cancer, told a shocked Susanna Reid on Good Morning Britain in November that he's forgiven his wife.
He said: 'I'd much love her to come home, but I know that she isn't going to, not in my lifetime. So I've got to deal with the future as it's fed to me now.

'She apologised for what she got herself tangled up in and there's not much we can do about it now.'
The loyal husband also brought his wife Christmas presents to enjoy in prison.
A family friend told the Mirror that he wanted to give her perfume, but as liquids were not allowed in the prison he chose a Boyzone CD.
They said: 'Boyzone are one of her favourite bands. One of her favourites songs is Life Is a Rollercoaster. I think it sums up her life and relationship well.'
Ray had been told he had months to live when his best friend's daughter Heather shot him in the face like a 'sniper' after a string of failed attempts on his life.
They included a swimming pool heater explosion which left him with second degree burns, drowning him while fishing and poisoning him with insulin.
At their trial, Maidstone Crown Court was told the non-fatal shooting triggered a long and intricate Kent Police investigation, which uncovered a string of other unsuccessful attempts on the man's life.
Mr Weatherall told Good Morning Britain that Glenn had been the main instigator of the plot, and that his wife was 'dragged into it'.

He said: 'I'm disgusted with Glenn and his daughter. Glenn was most certainly the driver of it all. I'm disgusted that my wife for getting involved with it all.'
Their schemes began unravelling in January after Ray's niece Emma Worsfold tipped off police that they were trying to kill Ray, after she learned of the affair.
Kent Police raided their homes and quickly recovered the bolt-action rifle that was used to shoot him.
Electrical devices were analysed and hundreds of messages were discovered between Glenn and Heather, including about how they planned to kill his love rival.
The jury was also told about other events that had threatened the victim's life between the summer of 2017 and the spring of 2018, which was just chalked up to accidents.
Mr Weatherall was blown up when his burner exploded, was set up to be drowned during a fishing trip with Pollard, and an incidence of suspected poisoning.

Glenn Pollard got life with a minimum of 17 years while the other two were jailed for life with a minimum of 15 years.
Heather Pollard was seen laughing in the dock with her father before the sentence was handed down.
Jurors heard treacherous Pollard had a gun license and 'brainwashed' his daughter - who was Mr Weatherall's great-niece - to fire the 'sniper' shot last November.
He was shot in the face at Sandwich Marina in Kent but survived when the bullet hit his right cheekbone.
Even at the point of the shooting the trail remained cold until the affair was revealed in January of 2018.
