Bionic suit helps dad fulfil dream of walking daughter down the aisle

Four years ago Chris Palmer was left paralysed after a long battle with cancer, leaving him fearful he wouldn't be able to walk his daughter, Heather, down the aisle on her wedding day.

However his dream to get her down aisle became a reality on May 21 when Palmer used a £90,000 ($131,000) robotic suit made by Rex Bionics to walk unaided on the special day.

"It's wonderful I can do this — it's fulfilling something that dads do," he said.
