Congratulations to Elly and David Nott on their marriage

Eleanor Jupp , 32, chief executive of the David Nott Foundation, and David Nott , 58, a consultant surgeon, married on January 31, 2015, at Chelsea Register Office, in London

Marriage was not on David’s horizon. Hailed as the “Indiana Jones of surgery”, much of his life has been dedicated to saving the lives of others; operating on civilians in war zones, under siege, with whatever equipment was to hand. His selfless missions to the world’s trouble spots weren’t conducive to lasting personal relationships back home.
