A man on his death bed was granted his dying wish - to feed a HORSE one last time.

Patrick Saunders, 87, had spent most of his adolescence around horses, and began his working life at a stable.

He always had a strong connection with the animals, so while in North Devon Hospice's care, the staff decided to arrange for him to pet and feed a horse one last time.

They contacted a local equine rescue centre that arranged for Victor, a large stallion, to visit Patrick in his final days.
