A cancer patient has died after a final farewell to her favourite horse outside the hospital where she was treated. Staff at Royal Albert Edward Infirmary in Wigan granted Sheila Marsh's last wish, by arranging a visit from two of her horses on Monday afternoon. The hospital said the 77-year-old, unable to speak properly due to illness, "gently called" her favourite horse, who then nuzzled her cheek. Mrs Marsh, who used to work at Haydock Park Racecourse, died early on Tuesday. The grandmother from Wigan had six horses, three dogs, three cats and other animals.
