Man Attends His Own Wake

John Noble, Who was diagnosed with motor neurone disease and given only months to live, said: "If people were going to turn up for a farewell drink after my death, I thought I would rather be there and have a drink with them."

Despite his illness, he still works as a print and stationary manager at the University of the West of England in Bristol.

He was diagnosed in 2003 with the disease and has asked doctors not to tell him exactly how long he has left to live.
