A Sri Lankan Doctor and an Irish Nurse who had to cancel their wedding due to the coronavirus outbreak have got married at the hospital where they work in London.

Jann Tipping, 34, and Annalan Navaratnam, 30, tied the knot in the Grade II listed chapel at London’s St Thomas’ Hospital, BBC reported.

Guests were able to enjoy their special day remotely as one of the witnesses live-streamed the service.

The couple said they decided to hold it “while everyone was still healthy”.

Ms Tipping and Mr Navaratnam had cancelled their original plans to wed in August because they feared their families would not be able to travel safely from Northern Ireland and Sri Lanka for the day.

Instead, the couple, from Tulse Hill in south London, decided to bring the wedding forward and got a special go-ahead for a private wedding ceremony.
