A British man who was shot and wounded in a street robbery just hours before he was due to get married abroad has finally tied the knot.

Tarek Naggar was targeted by a motorcycle gang who stole just £10 from him in the violent attack in the Philippines.

It meant that his marriage to fiancee Angie Bacaron didn't go ahead as planned and had to be postponed until Saturday when he was fit enough to walk down the aisle.

The 44-year-old wore a kilt and had to reach into his sporran for painkillers during the ceremony 'to keep him going', the Daily Record reports.

Tarek, from Milngavie, near Glasgow made an amazing recovery after the shooting, which happened as he had a drink with Angie in a late night bar in Cebu City on July 20.

Doctors said it was a miracle he survived as the bullet just missed his heart.

He was released from a hospital in the Philippines for the ceremony.

Speaking after the wedding, Tarek said: “I’m still in a lot of pain and had to take paracetamol out of my sporran during the ceremony to keep me going.

"But nothing was going to stop me marrying the love of my life.

“I think everyone was happy to see me on my feet again.”

The ceremony took place in front of 100 guests at St Thomas de Villanueva church in Cebu, a mile from where Tarek was shot in the bungled robbery

Tarek drank whisky with best man Chris McLaughlin, 40, before getting hitched on Saturday but left the reception at 7pm.

The couple, who met in Sweden, where Tarek is living, were planning to relocate to Thailand where Angie had secured a job teaching English.
