'Mum doesn't want to die alone in Switzerland or here in pain...she'd like everyone to have a choice

THE dying wishes of 650 people were displayed outside Parliament yesterday in support of the assisted dying Bill.

Dame Esther Rantzen's daughter Rebecca Wilcox was moved to tears as she read the words displayed on trees at the temporary installation by campaign group Dignity in Dying.

Reading the messages, she told the Express: "Listen to this one, it couldn't be simpler than this: 'My dying wish is to be pain free at home, looking at the garden.' How does that hurt anyone? "This one, my mum could have written: 'My dying wish is that my children would know how much I loved them, and I don't want them to have the trauma of seeing me in pain or undignified.' "They are heartfelt, heartfelt, brilliant, simple, emotional, honest wishes. I really recommend people having a look at them if they have any doubts about this."
